Strictly's Gorka makes cheeky comment and can't help admiring fiancé Gemma Atkinson as she 'keeps it real'

Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez was told he was 'living the dream' as fiance Gemma Atkinson shared a glimpse behind the scenes after the Pride of Britain Awards. Former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress Gemma posted a video clip on Instagram, filmed by Gorka, as they made their way back to their hotel room after the emotional awards ceremony in London.

Gemma, 37, from Bury, was seen walking along the corridor holding her heels in her hand in her floaty dress which revealed her toned, gym-honed back. "I'm getting a room service pizza. Oh yeah," she declared over her shoulder, and Gorka whistled in appreciation at his partner.

A second clip shared by the Hits Radio presenter showed Gemma, who has a three-year-old daughter Mia with Gorka, sporting a more casual look of a pink sweatshirt and grey jogging bottoms. As she made her way along the corridor professional dancer Gorka, 32, could be heard remarking: "Nice joggers."

"These are so comfy," Gemma told him. And Gorka replied cheekily: "Keep looking forward. Your bum looks amazing." Gemma captioned the video clips: "Last night Vs this morning!"

She told her followers: "Every awards night ends with room service pizza for us, and RAMBO was on tele too when we got back to the room! #winning Now off for a huge brekie with @gorka_marquez before I head back to do Mia’s pre school pick up."

sweetvic79 said: "Lol always keeping it real x got back envy sooo bad. Amazing xx" And jliddell58 said: "Both of you looked stunning last night. Looking fresh this morning and gorka's commentary is brilliant, saying it as he sees it."

Down-to-earth Gemma, who met Gorka when she competed on Strictly in 2017 and went public about their relationship on Valentine's Day 2018, also showed fans that she had used nipple covers to cover blisters on her heels because she didn't have any plasters.

And she admitted that the couple missed walking the red carpet at the star-studded event because "it was a really long queue, it was raining and there was food inside." She saw the funny side of people sharing photos of the other celebs on the carpet with Gemma and Gorka 'shuffling through the back of them.'
