Gorka Marquez enjoys sweet 'first' with daughter after BBC Strictly heartbreak as he says he 'doesn't know who enjoyed it more'

Gorka Marquez got to enjoy his own 'first' alongside his daughter days after suffering heartbreak on Strictly Come Dancing. The Spanish dancer made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance competition, which took place last weekend, alongside celebrity partner Helen Skelton.

Gorka and the Countryfile host had impressed for weeks with their routines with viewers thrilled to see Helen, 39, growing in confidence as the weeks went on. The pair went head-to-head with Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał, and Fleur East and Vito Coppola in the final round of the hit dance show.

Each of the four couples had to perform three routines in a bid to impress viewers and be crowned the Strictly 2022 champions. And it was Hamza and Jowita who emerged victorious and lifted the coveted Glitterball trophy.
