BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Gorka Marquez leaves fans 'so happy' as he shares two-word update

Gorka Marquez has left his fans and followers 'so happy' as he shared a very simple - but very lovely - two-word update with them. The professional dancer was seen on our TV screens over the weekend during the Strictly Come Dancing final.

The Spanish star returned to the ballroom as the show's group of talented dancers opened the epic last show of the series before he returned to the floor with his celebrity dance partner Nikita Kanda as the class of 2023 returned for their last group number.

Once the final was done, with Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola lifting the Glitterball trophy, the cast and crew celebrated the wrap of another successful series before going their separate ways.

And Gorka, 33, headed back up to Greater Manchester to be reunited with his fiancee Gemma Atkinson and their two children. The couple, who met on the BBC One dance contest in 2017, announced back in January that they were expanding their brood after welcoming their first child, Mia, at the start of July 2019. In July, Gemma, 39, and Gorka, 33, welcomed a son who they named Thiago Thomas Marquez.

But just days after his son's arrival, Gorka had to head to London where he started working on Strictly with new celebrity dance partner Nikita Kanda. Sadly, the pair were the second couple to leave the competition on week three of the competition but it meant that Gorka could spend more time at home.

However, Gorka was away again earlier this month with Gemma sharing an '11 day' countdown until he was home. And that day finally came over the weekend
