Gemma also talked about how excited she is to be reunited with her man after being apart for nearly three months will he competes on Strictly.
The dancer will return home on Sunday after 87 days of being apart from his family due to strict Covid guidelines as he participated in the BBC show.
Tonight Gorka will take part in the Strictly final with celebrity partner Maisie Smith.
When asked how she thinks the show will pan out, Gemma said: “This is the first year where I can’t pinpoint it… It’s so close, they’ve all been so good.
"Jamie’s got so much enthusiasm, Bill’s been on his journey, Maisie and HRVY have been really consistent and got better and better each week.
Gemma explained that while its going to be a tough call on who wins, she is backing Gorka and Maisie for obvious reasons.
She added: "It’s anyone’s game, anyone can win it. Obviously, I’m rooting for Gorka and Maisie and all my votes will be going for them.”
Gemma and Gorka became a couple after they fell for each other after meeting on the 2017 series of Strictly.
Despite becoming parents quite quickly into their relationship, Gemma told The Sun recently that they still have a lot of romance in their relationship.
She said: “People have said to us that after having a baby the passion goes, but I don’t think the passion for him could ever go.
“It’s still there, just sometimes it’s not a priority because you’re tired and you’ve got a baby.

"If we’ve got a night free and Real Madrid are playing, Gorka goes into the spare room and speaks to his Spanish mates on FaceTime while the game’s on, and I love that because I can put some Epsom salts in a bath and relax.
"Some people try to force the fact that they’ve got a night free so have to be intimate… but if that’s forced, it’s not worthwhile anyway.
"We’re at such a comfortable stage whereby I can do the whole sexy underwear thing and it’ll be great, but equally I can also come in with baby sick on a baggy T-shirt and greasy hair and it’ll still be fine.”
