manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Gemma Atkinson has revealed she's on another countdown to being reunited with Gorka Marquez before sharing an emotional update that left her 'fighting tears' of the wholesome kind.

While they're no strangers to their work taking them in different directions over the years, the pair recently had to spend a chunk of time in different parts of the country as dancer Gorka competed in Strictly Come Dancing's 2024 series with Morning Live star Dr Punam Krishan.

Punam was based in Glasgow being Gorka temporarily moved to Scotland while they competed in the hit dance show, while also travelling to London each weekend for the BBC One dance contest's live programme each week.

However, it appears Gorka has been on the move again as it was recently confirmed he'd be taking part in Strictly's Christmas special after fellow pro dancer Carlos Gu had to pull out.
