Strictly Come Dancing’s Gemma Atkinson fuels romance rumours as she’s spotted on a cosy breakfast with Gorka Marquez
STRICTLY’s Gemma Atkinson has again fuelled rumours of romance with pro dancer Gorka Marquez after the pair were spotted enjoying a cosy breakfast together.
The former Emmerdale actress has been linked to the Spanish hunk – who is partnered with Alexandra Burke on the show – for weeks.
And the couple did little to dispel speculation as they were spotted having breakfast together in Chiswick, West London, on Sunday morning.
An onlooker told : “Gemma was dressed down in her sweats and they were like any other couple, looking over their phones at the table.”
The source added the pair “didn’t care who saw them together”.
Gemma recently spoke about the Gorka rumours, saying: “I think he’s absolutely brilliant and we are getting to know each other, but for now the main focus is dancing.”
Asked if anything could happen once the show ends, she coyly replied: “We’ll see.”
However, the budding romance is said to have caused a rift between Gorka and his celebrity dance partner Alexandra.
The Sun’s Bizarre column revealed earlier this week that the singer is furious with her partner for embarking on a romance with Gemma, 32.
But despite the tension between the dance partners, it hasn’t spilled over into any animosity between the women themselves.
Speaking to the , Gemma – who is partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec – said: “We all message each other in the week on WhatsApp and send each other funny pictures and videos.
“We’re all so focused on our dances that we haven’t got time to fall out.
“Gorka’s priority on the show is getting Alexandra through week by week, the same thing Aljaz has.
“My focus is pleasing Aljaz, it’s the same for every couple.”
Meanwhile, Gemma surprised fans by inviting her rumoured ex Ryan Giggs to watch her dance rehearsals last week.
Aljaz shared a clip from the pair’s rehearsal studio in which Gemma and Ryan could be seen having a chat during a break from her training.
The clip comes just weeks after the group were also seen enjoying a dinner together in Manchester.
