Speculation has been rife about these two since the start of Strictly Come Dancing 2017, but now we finally have it confirmed that Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez are in a relationship. Awwww!

The pretty pair didn't comment on the rumours of their romance during last year's series of the BBC show, but with a set of intimate posts to their social media accounts, we can safely say these two are a 'thing'.

Not only did they post matching shots of themselves and wish each other a Happy Valentine's Day but Gorka even shared a sweet snap of them sunbathing as they enjoyed an exotic holiday.

And confirmation of their romance has gone down well with their fans with one commenting on the picture: "Awwwww be happy guys. So glad you are together I have been waiting for the longest for my fave strictly male pro to be taken by my fave ever celeb to take part x"

While another wrote: "Gorgeous couple!! 😍"

And while they're clearly loved up, they're not so soppy that they can't share a laugh.

In a sweet practical joke, Gorka managed to persuade Gemma that arm wrestling takes a very different form in his native country Spain than the style we're used to in the UK.

And there's video evidence to prove it with both Gemma and Gorka posting the hilarious film to their Instagram accounts.

Gemma captioned the video with: "Talking favourite films and I mention Stallone in “over the top” 💪🏼 He told me in Spain they arm wrestle differently to us.... I had a blonde moment and believed him... 😤🙈😂"

Right these two are going straight to the top of our fave celeb couples list. More of the same please guys.
