Gorka Marquez has cheekily branded his wife-to-be Gemma Atkinson 'northern and tight' after the pair headed on a quick shopping trip. The Strictly Come Dancing star filmed the Hits Radio host as she dithered over which bedding to buy, while complaining about the price.
With her back to the camera, Gemma, 37, could be seen holding a few items from the home section as she tried to make a decision about what else to get. Meanwhile, Gorka, 31, was chilling in one of the display beds as he panned the camera around while listening to his fiancée.
As she's looking, the former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress is heard saying: "£12 for one pillow case..." Gorka then turns the camera back around to show a less than impressed Gemma holding said bedding and repeating: "£12 for one pillow case. That's too much isn't it?"

Realising her husband-to-be was filming her, she gave a smile before pretending to him with said £12 product. Sharing the video with his thousands of followers, Gorka wrote: "So northern and so tight..." he then tagged his other half and added a string of crying laughing emojis.
Gemma reshared the video with her millions of followers, writing: "I think it's a lot! £7 tops no for a pillow?" before sharing her own video. The mum-of-one said: "It's so funny that you all agreed with me on them pillows. How much? I ain't paying that! For one pillow? £12?"
But she then admitted: "I went and got it didn't I. I moaned and moaned like a Brit and paid it," before joking she gave a fake smile as she handed her cash over at the check out. "Driving home thinking, 'I've just been f*****g robbed'," she added. Writing alongside the clip, Gemma said: "In typical Biritsh style, I moaned and whinged and bought them anyway.
"100% Egyptian cotton. If I don't sleep like a goddess tonight I'm going back and kicking stuff," she joked. She then shared a video of her bartering with her two-year-old daughter Mia over the price of the pillowcase, with the youngster offering it to her mum for £6 before putting it back up and down to a fiver.
But it appears Gemma's followers haven't forgotten the last time she was unhappy with an overpriced item. Returning to speak to the camera, she said: "Also, some of you have said, 'Remember that holiday bucket you moaned about?'" before adding: "Yeah, I do," as she walked through her house. "And so does Mia," she said as she picked up said bucket.
"It came home. It's in the bath, every day. Get me money's worth. Save the pennies to make the pounds," she added before writing "Still got that overpriced holiday bucket. She plays with it every bath because I force her to. Just so I can get my money's worth."
Gorka's mocking of Gemma came hours after she had her own cheeky comment to share with him. On Wednesday the Spanish dancer announced that he was having to pull out of an upcoming Strictly tour after picking up an injury near the end of the Strictly Professionals tour last month.
Following his announcement, Gemma took to Instagram with her own message about the situation, sharing her pride for her husband-to-be. Sharing Gorka's post to her Instagram Story, she told her millions of followers: "Gorks was in so much pain the last few weeks of the tour."
The Bury-born star, who met Gorka during her stint on Strictly back in 2017, added: "Proud of him for getting through it. Now, on the orders of doctors and physios, it's rest and rehab ready for Strictly 2022!"
She was also quick to comment on his Instagram post, writing: " Proud of you for getting through those last few weeks! I know how painful it was for you at times. Rest and rehab then back to the show," before cheekily adding: "Can’t have you home for too long messing up my routine."
