Spanish siesta? Gorka and Gemma are all loved up

THEIR romance has gone from strength to strength since sparks first flew on the 2017 series of Strictly Come Dancing.

And Gorka Márquez and Gemma Atkinson were the picture of true love as he shared a selfie of the pair cuddled up in bed.

The Spanish dancer, 28, and his actress love, 34, put on a smitten display in the candid photo shared by Gorka with the caption: ‘Morning cuddles #happyplace’.

In the snap, Gemma is still asleep as she snuggles up her handsome boyfriend and nestles into his neck. Dance sensation Gorka cracks a relaxed smile as he teases a glimpse of his dance-honed body and multiple tattoos.

The selfie comes after Gemma gushed about her beau, revealing he makes her feel like no man has before. The former Emmerdale star told the Sun he is the first boyfriend ‘who truly makes me feel attractive in just a T-shirt’.

Discussing her body confidence issues she added: ‘I’ve got the odd stretch mark and some cellulite on the top of my legs, like every woman. And he tells me every single day how beautiful he thinks I am. The first thing he says in the morning is, “Good morning. I love you. How did you sleep?”

‘I know there’s time for that to stop – I’m aware we’ve not been together that long – but I’ve never had that before.’

Gemma and Gorka met on Strictly last year, when Gorka was paired with singer Alexandra Burke who also made it to the final.

During their time on the show, Gemma and Gorka repeatedly denied they were in a relationship, and it was only after the series ended that they confirmed they were dating.
