Gorka Marquez left emotional as he finds hidden message from fiancée Gemma Atkinson after leaving her 'solo'

Gorka Marquez appeared a little bit emotional as he discovered a hidden Valentine's Day card from his fiancee Gemma Atkinson after he left her 'solo'. Gemma told her Instagram followers over the weekend that her Strictly Come Dancing star partner had headed off for work leaving her 'riding solo' with their daughter, Mia.

Gorka, 32, is currently preparing to hit the road with his co-star on the BBC One show and his dance partner Karen Hauer as they bring their Firedance 2023 tour to venues across the country - including The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Gemma told her millions of followers in a video posted to her Instagram Story: "Gorka's back on the road now.

"He's back touring. Gone rehearsing [for] Firedance. Have you got your tickets? [It's] gonna be very good." She then went on: "So, solo! I'm riding solo so my house is going to be on it's a**e which is fine, it always is. Probably knackered but hey ho. Keeping moving is what they say. Lean with it rock with it. It's what you gotta do."

But Gemma, 38, was sure not to forget that Valentine's Day, which is also the day they got engaged in 2021, occurred while he was away and romantically snuck a card into his case for him to open while he's away rehearsing ahead of the start of the tour later this month.

Posting a black and white picture of the card to his Instagram Story, Gorka penned: "She hid it inside my luggage," alongside a weary face emoji and a love heart eyes emoji. The front of the card read: "For my other half. Life makes more sense since I found you. You're my missing piece and the only one I'll ever want by
