Gorka Marquez has addressed rumours he\u2019s set to leave Strictly Come Dancing, hinting he will actually be sticking around.<\/p>\n
Rumours started circulating that he would be leaving the hit BBC talent show following the finale which saw Hamza Yassin crowned the 2022 champion<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some wondered if he was upset not to have lifted the trophy with joint favourite, Helen Skelton.<\/p>\n One fan asked Gorka on Instagram, saying they \u2018couldn\u2019t believe\u2019 he was leaving.<\/p>\n The dancer replied: \u201cDon\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p> This is the first time Gorka has publicly addressed any rumours about his potential departure from the series, so it seems like he could be sticking around if that\u2019s anything to go by.<\/p>\n His fianc\u00e9e, Gemma Atkinson previously shut down any rumours of him leaving, sharing a report, adding: \u201cObv this isn\u2019t true at all! Same as it wasn\u2019t true about Gio [Giovanni Pernice] last year. Merry Christmas!\u201d[sic]<\/p>\n Gorka previously spoke about his reaction to Hamza lifting the Glitterball<\/a> during an appearance on Helen\u2019s BBC Radio 5 Live show, clarifying: \u201cI wasn\u2019t fuming but I wanted Helen to finish the season with the cherry on top. But I was very happy for Hamza and Jowita \u2013 they\u2019ve been amazing.<\/p>\n \u201cWhoever won, it was amazing because the couples have been incredible, but we care and we love our job.\u201d<\/p>\n Helen added: \u201cObviously we\u2019re delighted for Hamza because he put in some amazing dances through the season, but you and I, our reaction \u2013 you could tell how gutted we were. \u201cGorka has had all my stress, all my nerves. Week One, I hid on the fire escape saying I didn\u2019t want to do it, and now we got two standing ovations \u2013 that\u2019s our trophy, mate.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
