The dancer shared a series of photos of himself lying in a hospital bed where he was hooked up to some intravenous fluid. Gorka didn't look happy throughout his entire stay, sharing some daytime and night-time snaps of himself in the hospital bed, and he certainly looked less than impressed with the food that he was given, pulling an uncertain face as he revealed he'd been tucking into a tuna sandwich.
