Gorka Marquez has finally broken his silence on reports he's ready to quit Strictly Come Dancing, telling a fan on Instagram not to believe the speculation.
Sadly for Gorka, after he reached his third Strictly final earlier this month, alongside celeb partner Helen Skelton, he ended the series empty handed once again, with viewers instead handing victory to Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal. After that disappointment, it took just days for speculation to swirl that Gorka wanted to walk away from Strictly, having previously reached the final with Alexandra Burke and Maisie Smith.
An insider told The Sun: "Gorka has become an established figure in the contest and a name in his own right, which could allow him to go on to bigger things."
