Gemma Atkinson has broken her silence after her fiancé, Gorka Marquez, was dumped from Strictly Come Dancing alongside his celebrity partner, Nikita Kanda on the third week of the BBC show.

Gorka, 32, and Nikita, 28, found themselves in the dreaded dance-off, alongside former Love Island star Zara McDermott, 26, and her pro partner, Graziano De Prima, 29.

Ultimately, the judges all voted to save Zara and Graziano, with head judge Shirley Ballas revealing that she would have done the same, had it come to a tie.

But it seems that one person who is seeing the 'silver lining' is Gorka's fiancee Gemma, 38, who shares two children with him.
