Ever the doting dad, the professional dancer included a handful of adorable images featuring four-year-old daughter Mia, and baby Thiago whom Gorka and his fiancée Gemma Atkinson welcomed in July this year.
In the snapshots, which were shared to Instagram, little Thiago is pictured playing with a colourful play mat adorned with soft toys.

I've had the best time and I love all my Strictly family, I'm going to miss you all. This has been a dream come true, I'm so grateful. I've got to say the biggest thank you to Gorka, he has been the biggest support and I've had the best time ever."
Despite their elimination, Gorka expressed how proud he was of Nikita, telling Tess: "I am beyond proud of her, for someone that doesn't have any dance experience or performance experience to come on this show and dance in front of millions of people – for three weeks, I think it's incredible."
