Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez confirmed their relationship after months of speculation on Strictly and now engagement rumours are rife.
Former Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson, 33, and professional dancer Gorka Marquez, 27, have confirmed their romance after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing last year.
Engagement rumours are now swirling after Gemma was pictured with a tell-tale ring on her finger.
Here's a look at their relationship as he pairs up with Katie Piper for 2018 Strictly competition:
Are Gemma and Gorka engaged?
Eagle-eyed fans spotted a ring on Gemma's left hand in one of her most recent Instagram snaps. However, the star was quick to put the rumours to bed, confirming that the Instagram story had reversed the image, meaning the ring was actually on her right hand.
She wrote: "The ring I'm wearing is crystal on my right hand. Instagram stories flip the camera. No ring on my left hand because I am not engaged!"
