Gorka Marquez left emotional as his 'heart melts' at Gemma Atkinson's update

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Gorka Marquez appeared to be left emotional as he said his 'heart melted' over Gemma Atkinson's latest update on their children - even if she wasn't left overly impressed.

The dancer is currently spending time away from his family as he takes part in Strictly Come Dancing. Gorka is paired with Morning Live's Dr Punam Krishan and the pair spend their weeks training in Glasgow, where Punam is based, before moving onto London for the live show at a weekend.

After an emotional start to the BBC One dance contest, where Gorka told he felt guilty for being away from his and Gemma's children while also knowing he was working for them, the Strictly star was recently asked in a Q&A when he will get to see his fiancee, Mia and Thiago.

"I'm seeing Gemma next weekend because she' travelling to London for work so I'll see her there.

But I could go home, for example on a Sunday, but at the same time I have to travel to Glasgow and choreograph my next routine so it's quite a tight schedule and I think coming home for two, three hours is actually going to make it worse. "It's going to mess up their routine and I think for Mia now, she's used to, 'he's away, I'll see him when he's finished'.
