Gemma Atkinson has denied claims she forced partner Gorka Marquez to quit Strictly Come Dancing – and has shared his real reason for leaving the series.
The Spanish star, 35, joined the BBC series in 2016, but won’t be returning for the 2026 edition. His exit followed a cast overhaul, which led to the departure of Karen Hauer, Nadiya Bychkova, Luba Mushtuk and Michelle Tsiakkas.
