Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez has admitted he has days where he 'doesn't want to dance' as he opened up about a social media post that went viral.

In September, the professional dancer was praised for posting a photo of himself sat in the car with tears running down his face.

In the post, he explained that he felt 'guilty' for leaving his fiancee Gemma Atkinson and their kids to go to work. Gorka admitted he felt as though he was "letting them down by not being" with Gemma and their kids Mia, who is five, and one-year-old Thiago.

Fans flooded Gorka's post with messages of support and praised the star for being open and vulnerable about his feelings. In a new interview with Metro.co.uk, Gorka revealed why he shared the post. "People always show us with a smile, entertaining, with glitter, getting hair and make up done, doing a theatre tour or doing an arena tour and believe everything is just 'Wow'.
