The trip comes soon after their appearance on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special, where Gemma and Gorka performed together as a couple for the first time. Dancing to I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Clause, the pair performed a jive and received a score of 35. Prior to the special, Gemma spoke to HELLO! and other reporters about her experience on coming back to the Strictly ballroom as a new mum.
She explained: "My stamina has completely changed, massively. During Strictly, one of the dances I found the hardest and got the lowest score for was the Jive, and that's what we're doing for the Christmas special - so I've been thrown in at the deep end again. It's just something I need to try and get over it and enjoy it."
