Loved-up Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez snog in the sea on romantic holiday to Greece
Couple couldn’t take their hands off one another as they were pictured enjoying a day out on the beach
GEMMA Atkinson and Gorka Marquez were pictured snogging in the sea during a loved up holiday in Greece.
The pair have flown off on holiday before Gorka’s schedule becomes jam-packed with his Strictly Come Dancing commitments.
Professional dancer Gorka, 27, couldn’t stop smiling as he walked through the surf next to Gemma.
Actress Gemma, 33, looked sensational in a printed string bikini.
She did her best Bond girl impression for Gorka as she mucked around in the sea, soaking her hair and throwing it back for effect.
The couple then went for a stroll across the sand and beamed for the cameras.
After meeting on the BBC dance show last year, Gemma and Gorka have been smitten for one another.
He was paired with X Factor champ Alexandra Burke, but fell head over heels for his competition.
Ex-Emmerdale star Gemma now hopes that after finding love on the show they'll be able to make things last when the series returns this autumn.
Strictly is infamous for its relationship curse, with many couples breaking up after getting close to their dance partner.
But Gemma insists this won’t be the case for her, telling the Sunday People: “With Gorka, I had six months of getting to know him as a friend, that’s what is different.
“I’ve never fallen for a friend before. For us it was a Strictly blessing. We weren’t dancing together and we were both single.
“No one got hurt or trampled on, no one left anybody for anybody else so it was literally a Strictly blessing for me and Gorks.”
Gemma revealed on Thursday that Gorka first won her heart with a slice of pizza at 2am.
The former Emmerdale star shared the couple’s first drunken selfie on Instagram with her followers and admitted it did not take twinkle-toed Gorka much effort for her to start falling for him.
She wrote: “#tb to mine and @gorka_marquez first night out together!
“Who’d have thought a tipsy taxi ride after the Strictly launch party would lead us to where we are now.

“I’m so glad that on that evening you asked for my phone number, and I’m thankful you got me that much needed 2am pizza, got me back to my hotel and handed me over to the girls safely, and rang me in the morning checking I’d made my train back to Manchester.
“(I hadn’t) but hey! It was fun, and it lead to our friendship which months later, lead to our partnership.
“The rest they say is history and I cannot wait to see what the future holds with you Gorks!”
