Gemma Atkinson has officially confirmed her romance with Strictly Come Dancing’s Gorka Marquez in an adorable Valentine’s Day snap.

Speculation about the pair’s relationship was first sparked when they were spotted getting close on the BBC ballroom show last year.

Suspicions grew when Marquez posted a cosy-looking selfie on his Instagram account last week, alongside the caption: “You say what..?”.

Atkinson also posted her own snap from the night out, showing her cradling Marquez’s head alongside Strictly co-stars and married couple Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara.

But after weeks of keeping schtum the Hollyoaks actress finally confirmed the romance in a sweet post of the pair resting their heads on each other on holiday.

The 33-year-old captioned the picture: “Here’s to many more kid. Happy Valentines Day @gorka_marquez.”

Spanish dancer Marquez posted the same picture wishing his other half a “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Fans were quick to congratulate the dancing duo on their romance.

One wrote: “Yay!! Proper official confirmation! Cutest couple.”

Another said: “sooooo happy for you both sooooo knew it all a long couldn't think of a better couple and way to cute together enjoy peeps enjoy the love every single day.”

A third wrote: “Literally made my day.”
