Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts have flocked to respond to Gorka Marquez's latest social media update, which showcased his two youngsters with Gemma Atkinson, his partner whom he met on the BBC programme. The professional dancer will return to the cherished show later this year, as anticipation builds for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. Whilst the celebrity contestants remain under wraps, speculation is already mounting about potential participants who might grace the ballroom floor. Meanwhile, the professional dancers are sharing glimpses of their private lives with devoted followers. Gorka, who recently participated in Soccer Aid, posted a delightful collection of photographs this week featuring his children Mia and Thiago, reports Edinburgh Live . The youngsters were captured standing beside a wall, with Mia tenderly stroking her little brother's head. A second photograph showed Gorka posing before a mirror alongside both children, making peace gestures with his fingers. The final snapshot depicted Mia sporting sunglasses whilst reclining against the wall as Thiago gazed at his elder sister. Gorka wrote alongside the images: "Last day of School ! Year 1 completed [sic]". He then challenged his supporters to suggest what his son might be thinking in the concluding photograph as he observed Mia. Responses quickly poured in, with one admirer writing: "You have the most gorgeous children." Another remarked: "They grow too fast for sure." A third person added: "Lovely pictures, beautiful children." One admirer commented: "Thiago is thinking When I grow up I want to be like Mia. "Lovely children! Where is the time going? A credit to you and Gemma," another penned. Meanwhile, a different follower remarked: "Mia is your double Gemma." Gorka first encountered his partner Gemma in 2017 when she was paired with Aljaz Skorjanec on the dance competition. Their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship soon after. Gemma welcomed her first child in 2019, followed by the arrival of Thiago in 2023. Strictly Come Dancing is set to air later this year.
