A professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing has shared with fans why he decided not to take part in this year's arena tour. Gorka Marquez reached the 2022 final of the show alongside Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton, but the pair lost out to Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal.
It was recently announced Helen would be dancing alongside Kai Widdrington during the live shows, and so Gorka took to Instagram to reply to fans about why he would not be part of the show. He explained: “After the Strictly series I always like to take some down time to spend quality time with Gem and Mia.
“I am grateful for the work but I also think spend time with family is important. Time flies and we won't get those memories back,” alongside a love heart emoji, reports the Daily Mirror.
