Gorka Marquez has penned an emotional message to fans as his career venture with another Strictly Come Dancing star came to an end at the weekend.
There was widespread upset amongst Strictly fans at the end of last year, when it was revealed that, despite making it all the way to the final with Helen Skelton, Gorka would not be playing any part in the show's live arena tour. Helen was instead partnered with Kai Widdrington to do the tour, as Gorka told fans that he'd turned down the opportunity to do it in order to spend some much needed time with his family.
But, while he was a notable absentee from the Strictly tour, Gorkas has been enjoying live on the road more recently, teaming up with fellow Strictly pro Karen Hauer for their Firedance show. The production has been wowing audiences all over the country and, Gorka was clearly had mixed emotions as he and Karen took their final bows, while also giving a huge hint that he and Karen will be back on tour again next year.
