The couple met on the set of Strictly in 2017 - although, they weren't dancing partners at that time. Gemma was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec and Gorka was partnered with singer Alexandra Burke - the pair then embarked on their relationship just a few months later during the 2018 Strictly live tour.
