Gemma Atkinson playfully remarked on how a fan’s observation about Gorka Marquez had a humorous impact on their relationship. Gemma, known for her past role in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks, encountered Gorka during her participation in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2017.

Since then, the couple has had two children, Mia and Thiago, become engaged, and launched a joint podcast called Lost in Translation. During a recent podcast episode, they addressed a message from a listener named Lisa, who pointed out a potential resemblance between Gorka and a famous tennis player.

In response to Lisa’s comment, Gemma shared that her husband does not see the likeness between Gorka and Novak Djokovic, the tennis player in question. Despite her initial disbelief, Gemma humorously admitted that there might be some similarity in Gorka’s side profile.

Gorka playfully rejected the comparison, stating that he bears no resemblance to Djokovic. Gemma light-heartedly joked that Lisa had “ruined” the situation by pointing out the similarity.

Earlier this year, Gorka announced his departure from Strictly Come Dancing after a decade on the show, starting in 2016. In his statement, he expressed gratitude for the opportunities the show had provided, including helping him build a career, find love, start a family, and establish lasting friendships.

Recently, Gorka and Gemma traveled to Gorka’s home country for a vacation, but their child-free getaway was disrupted by illness. Gemma humorously admitted to overindulging and falling ill, leading to a less-than-ideal vacation experience.

The couple bantered about the incident, with Gorka teasing Gemma about intentionally getting sick to avoid having a third child. Gemma, however, recounted spending the night dealing with sickness.

Overall, their podcast interaction showcased their playful dynamic, despite the minor hiccup during their holiday.
