Gorka Marquez shared his elation over his Strictly Come Dancing return as Kevin Clifton left amid their so-called feud.
It's just been announced Gorka will be dancing with a celeb partner once again after he was "demoted" to a backing dancer last year.
Rumours were flying he had a spat with Kevin after the dancing pro remained silent over the demotion while other professional dancers sent messages of support.
Gorka was unveiled as one of the professional dancers just days after Kevin broke the news he was quitting Strictly after seven years on the show.
The dad-of-one made no secret of his excitement when he took to Instagram to share a gushing message.
Accompanying his joyous words, the Strictly star posed with his baby girl Mia for a smiling photograph.
He wrote: "I’M BACK ON @bbcstrictly for my 5th series.
"I think Mia is even more excited than me!! #keepdancing ."
The Mirror has approached Gorka Marquez and BBC representatives for further comment.
Rumours of a feud begun to circulate about Gorka and Kevin after the dad-of-one's demotion last year.
At the time, Gorka was given unwavering support from his fellow professional dancers with the exception of Kevin.
He posted: "For everybody that's been asking, I can let you know that this series, I sadly won't be partnered with a celebrity for the main series of Strictly.
"However, I will still be heavily involved in all of the group numbers and all things Strictly!"
Kevin didn't pass comment on Gorka's demotion.
However, the choreographer sparked rumours of a feud when he still failed to offer Gorka support while he made a public reassurance to Graziano after their demotions.
