Rumours of romance between Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez have been flying around for weeks as the pair take part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

Things appeared to get messy when it was reported that Gemma and co-star Alexandra Burke, who has teamed up with Gorka for this year's show, had been arguing.

However, as the former Hollyoaks star defended herself against the rumours, she seemed to drop a huge hint that romance* really is *on the cards for the pair.

Speaking to The Mirror, she said, "I think people love to hear that contestants or pros are falling out because they love a little bit of drama. But unfortunately there isn’t any.

"There’s no animosity between anyone. We all message each other in the week on WhatsApp and send each other funny pictures and videos."

Regarding the romance rumours, Gemma said, "I think he’s absolutely brilliant and we are getting to know each other, but for now the main focus is dancing. Once the show ends? We’ll see."

But just to make things even more complicated, Gemma's rumoured flame Ryan Giggs was spotted supporting her at rehearsals this week.

In a video posted on Aljaz's Instagram account, the dancing revealed the footballer had joined them in the studio.

"@glouiseatkinson, @vicky_owens and Mr. Giggs are a tough crowd," he captioned the picture.
