Gemma and Gorka first met when Gemma appeared on the hit dancing show Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.

The pair then made the big step of moving in together last month, and it sounds like things couldn't be going any better in their relationship. Appearing on Lorraine last month, Gemma couldn't help but gush about her Spanish beau, telling Lorraine Kelly, "He makes me so happy, he really does."

Gemma then went on to reveal how things have been going since they moved in together, with the presenter saying, "I've been on my own for around three years, and now I'm living with Gorka. We both cook but with him being Spanish he's just better at cooking. 'He's the chef in the house and he's nice and tidy. It's like living with your best mate.
