Radio presenter Gemma Atkinson recently opened up about how her relationship with Strictly Come Dancing's Gorka Marquez is going - it's pretty safe to say it's going well, as they've now moved in together!

Appearing on Lorraine last week, she revealed they'd taken the big step, saying, "He makes me so happy, he really does. I've been on my own for around three years, and now I'm living with Gorka. We both cook but with him being Spanish he's just better at cooking. He's the chef in the house and he's nice and tidy. It's like living with your best mate."

And today (14th Jan), Gorka had his say on the relationship in his own interview on Lorraine, appearing on the show with fellow Strictly professionals Giovanni Pernice and Aljaž Škorjanec.

Gorka adorably called himself "lucky" after meeting Gemma on the show after Lorraine mentioned the 'Strictly Curse' and how it had turned out the opposite way for Gorka and Gemma.

Although Gorka and Gemma became the subject of dating rumours during the 2017 show whilst he was partnered with Alexandra Burke and she with Aljaž, Gorka has now revealed that the pair really kicked their romance up during the Strictly Live tour last January.

He said, "Thanks to the Strictly tour, I got the chance to spend more time with her and get to know each other better. We are very happy."

Gorka's co-star and friend Giovanni Pernice also opened up about his own relationship - using the platform to finally confirm that he is in a relationship with Ashley Roberts.

Congratulations!
