Yahoo News Strictly's Gorka and Gemma share big relationship news
Strictly Come Dancing is pretty well known for the fact that sometimes celebrities and professional dancers hook up while on the show. Some of the relationships fizzle out after they stop getting all sultry on the dancefloor, but other times they go the distance.
Former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress Gemma Atkinson and Strictly pro Gorka Marquez got together on the 2017 series, and over the weekend they announced a big step forward in their relationship.
Gorka shared the news during video posts on his Instagram story, which featured the pair in a car as they revealed that they are moving in together in Manchester.
Gemma even joked that she would have to teach her other half the Mancunian lingo, like, 'You alright kid?' We think a few episodes of Coronation Street and he'll have it mastered.
The couple attended last night's (December 16) Sports Personality of the Year Awards, and shared a photo of themselves in bed with pizza, saying that they skipped the after party in order to be human enough to get cracking with the unpacking.

Earlier this year, Gemma opened up about being together but living apart, stating: "I've no problem with long-distance relationships. Most of mine have been like that. I think it's nice to miss somebody.
"And I do need my own space. Some days Tom Hardy could walk in and I'd say, 'I need some space, just give me a break!' So for me it works out fine, I love it."
She also revealed the reason behind her "tough" decision to leave Emmerdale.
