Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez appear to confirm romance

Gemma Atkinson has appeared to confirm her romance with Strictly Come Dancing’s Gorka Marquez.

The pair were thought to have become close when the actress was on the dancing competition, but have remained tight-lipped about whether they are in a relationship.

However, Atkinson has now posted a snap of the pair on a sunny holiday together on Instagram.

The image shows them sat bedside each other on the beach, and is captioned: “Here’s to many more kid. Happy Valentines Day @gorka_marquez.”

Former Emmerdale star Atkinson, 33, added a kissing emoji.

Professional dancer Marquez,27, shared the same image on his own account.
