Gemma Atkinson has talked about how she feels when her fiancé Gorka Márquez is away working. Gorka is a dancer on the TV show Strictly Come Dancing. He has been on the show for a long time, but he left last month. Now, he is touring the country with his old dance friends. They are performing in many different places.

Gorka and Gemma did a podcast together from different places.

Gemma said it feels like a long time since Gorka has been away. She said she has lost count of the days. A friend of hers also has a partner who is away a lot, and they both feel the same way.

Gemma said she and her friend are lucky to have partners who have exciting jobs.

Gemma's friend said it would be boring if their partners were home all the time.

Gorka and Gemma are apart.

Gemma said she understands why her friend feels the same way. She likes that Gorka's job is not a normal 9-to-5 job. It keeps things exciting because she never knows when he will be home or where he will be.

Gorka said his job keeps Gemma on her toes. When their kids were younger, it was harder for Gemma when Gorka was away.

Gemma said Gorka tries to come home as much as he can, even if it's just for a day. When their daughter Mia was two, she didn't understand why Gorka wasn't home.

Now Mia is older and understands that Gorka is away for work. Gemma thinks it will be easier for their son Thiago when he is older because Mia will be there to help him.

Gorka did a podcast from his hotel room.

Gorka left Strictly Come Dancing after being on the show for a long time. He had to choose between Strictly and another job he had.

Gorka said he was sad to leave Strictly, but he felt it was time to move on.

Gorka is thankful for the opportunities he had on Strictly. He met his fiancée Gemma on the show and started a family.

Gorka and Gemma met on Strictly in 2017. They started dating and got engaged a few years later.
