Gemma Atkinson has opened up about her relationship with her former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ co-star Gorka Marquez, after they revealed they were an item last week.
Despite being heavily rumoured to be an item all the way through the most recent series, Gemma and Gorka - who were partnered with Aljaž Škorjanec and Alexandra Burke respectively during last year’s run - the two maintained repeatedly that they were nothing more than friends.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Gemma has insisted they were telling the truth at the time, claiming they didn’t get together until during the ‘Strictly’ tour earlier this year.
She said: “During the show we only saw each other at weekends... everyone was saying ‘oh they’re together’ but we genuinely weren’t.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star added: “Because he’s in London and I’m in Manchester I think that’s a good thing because you both have to make an effort to see each other.
The pair announced their relationship on Valentine’s Day, both sharing the same photo on their Instagram pages, which showed them relaxing together on a beach.
