Gorka Marquez's birthday celebrations are tinged with a bit of sadness for his wife-to-be Gemma Atkinson. The Strictly Come Dancing professional is marking turning 32 on Sunday (September 4) and it couldn't have landed at a better time as he's currently enjoying time at home after being away for work.
Gorka has been away filming for the BBC One dance contest ahead of the show's big return later this month. But the Spanish dancer made his way back to Greater Manchester, his honourary home, where he lives with Gemma, 37, and their three-year-old daughter, Mia.
"The 4:00 am alarm was worth it the surprise face in Mia this morning," Gorka penned on Instagram earlier this week alongside a cute photo of him cuddling up to his daughter before sharing a selfie of the family-of-three back together. And fans thought it was the sweetest.
