Gorka Marquez has admitted that he would "love" to join the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel... one day. It comes after the dancer, who made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance contest in December, had to deny reports that he had quit the much-loved show after six series.
Gorka, 32, was within touching distance of the Glitterball trophy after making it right to the end of the 2022 run with Helen Skelton. The pair impressed week in, week out as Countryfile host Helen blossomed in confidence in front of viewers' eyes with the help of her pro dance partner.
And Strictly viewers flocked to social media after spotting Gorka's 'gutted' reaction to missing out on the Strictly 2022 title after he and Helen went head-to-head with Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał, and Fleur East and Vito Coppola before wildlife cameraman Hamza and Jowita lifted the Glitterball.
