Strictly’s Katya Jones caught ‘flirting with Gorka Marquez’ – leaving Gemma Atkinson seething

The flames may have died down between Strictly siren Katya Jones and Seann Walsh, but it seems the Russian beauty has been turning up the heat with another dancer.

Katya is said to have become besotted with Gorka Marquez, boyfriend to 2017 contestant Gemma Atkinson, during the Strictly Live Tour in January.

When the tour finished, Gorka began dating former Hollyoaks star Gemma despite Katya’s attentions.

A Strictly source told The Sun, “Katya was often seen with Gorka during the last series of Strictly.

“She made no secret backstage of the fact that she thought Gorka was attractive and was spotted chatting to him. She was always laughing at his jokes. This inevitably caused a lot of jealousy behind the scenes. It is safe to say there was no love lost between Gemma and Katya."

He may have ended up with the former Hollyoaks star, but Gorka reportedly loved the attention.

"Katya thoroughly enjoyed flirting with him and Gorka loves female attention - he obviously knew that Gemma fancied him," the source added.

“With Katya on the scene as well, Gorka found himself caught in the middle of two stunning women vying for his attention.”

Despite Katya's British husband Neil being on the tour, the Russian and Gorka, 28, are said to have enjoyed a string of boozy night outs after their shows.

The source continued, “The Strictly stars have a motto that what goes on tour stays on tour and the behaviour that goes on behind the scenes would make viewers blush if they knew.

“There were even rumours that on a previous tour pro dancers were involved in a threesome at a hotel."

Katya caused controversy in October after she was snapped snogging contestant Seann on a boozy night out.
