Strictly Come Dancing's Gorka Marquez reacts after 'fuming' look following Hamza win

Gorka Marquez was accused of being "fuming" after Hamza Yassin won Strictly Come Dancing - but now he has reacted to the win.

The pro dancer, who was partnered with Helen Skelton on the BBC show, said "life moves on". And his fiancée Gemma Atkinson admitted she was "gutted" by the result.

When Hamza and his partner Jowita were announced as the winners, most contestants appeared cheerful. However viewers thought Gorka looked less than impressed and was spotted stone-faced when the camera panned onto him.

In a video shared by radio presenter Gemma on her InstaStory, the pair are seen walking to their hotel room. A tired Gorka says: "Let's go bed," with Gemma telling fans: "We are - I am gutted, I am gutted."

Gorka responded in a tired tone: "What can I say?" with Gemma replying "What can you say?" The pro dancer then said: "Life moves on," with Gemma telling him: "You were both bloody fab."

She then produced a sparkly crown which the wardrobe department had made for their daughter Mia, three, with Gorka saying: "That's my trophy," and Gemma commenting: "Who needs a glitterball trophy when you have got a crown?"

The pair then thanked the public for voting for Gorka and Helen, before signing off, reports The Mirror. As well as Hamza, the pair competed against Fleur East and Molly Rainford for the trophy.

The dad-of-one later paid tribute to Hamza and Jowita. On his InstaStory, he shared a photo of the pair after their win and wrote: "The Champs!!! Congratulations to both of you for a great series!! #bravo."
