After falling in love under the bright lights of Strictly Come Dancing, Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Márquez have seen their romance play out in the spotlight.
AS THEIR BEHIND-THE-SCENES REALITY SHOW RETURNS GEMMA ATKINSON AND GORKA MARQUEZ ON THEIR PERFECT LIFE' WITH CHILDREN MIA AND THIAGO AND BEING IN NO RUSH TO MARRY

But when it comes to tying the knot, the pair would prefer something decidedly more low-key.

"I wouldn't want a massive fairytale white wedding. The fewer people, the better," radio presenter and podcaster Gemma tells HELLO! as she and her fiancé, Strictly professional dancer Gorka, 33, join us for an exclusive interview.

"Ideally, I'd wear a trouser suit, but that might not go down well."

The couple met when Gemma competed on the hit BBC show in 2017 and now share four-year-old daughter Mia and baby son Thiago, whose first birthday is in July. And the pair are in no rush to say “I do”, although they’ve been engaged for three years.

THE RIGHT TIME

“I’d like to wait until Thiago can walk down the aisle,” says Gemma, 39. “We’ve got this perfect life together, with the babies, the house and the dogs, so we don’t feel any pressure to get married just for a certificate.

“We were thinking that we could go to a registry office and do it with just the two of us and then have a massive party.

“But then, as that got closer, I was thinking that I’d regret not having my sister and niece as bridesmaids, so we were like: ‘No, let’s not rush. Let’s wait until the perfect time and do it then.’”
