Gemma and Gorka met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, and welcomed their first child, daughter Mia, in July 2019. On Tuesday night, Gemma paid a touching tribute to her partner Gorka while reflecting on their time in lockdown together. "Since me and Gorks got together our whole relationship has technically been long distance," she wrote. "The first year living in separate cities followed by us moving in together but his tours and Strictly taking him away for weeks at a time. He was away on tour for 3wks when Mia was just 2 days old. I keep reminding myself of that in this lockdown.

"Although the circumstances aren't great for anyone, we're never going to get this length of time together in one go again. Ever. We're making the most of it and yes its kind of annoying when he watches Spanish news really loud because they talk SO fast. but I'm glad that he's my 'cell mate' in all of this. I wouldn't be locked down with anyone else." Gorka, 29, was quick to respond to her message. "I LOVE YOU!! ps: not as loud as your 3hr chat with mum," he joked.
