Strictly's Katie McGlynn and Gorka Marquez 'don't get on' say fans who spot 'tension'

Strictly's Katie McGlynn and Gorka Marquez wowed fans with their sweet jive but eagle eyed fans have spotted that the pair may not have found their groove just yet.

Eagle eyed Strictly fans say they have noticed tension between the two - noticing they were finding it slightly uncomfortable in various social media posts before Saturday's show - with Spanish pro Gorka looking glum and Hollyoaks actress Katie looking uncomfortable.

Rumours swirled earlier in the week after Katie, who plays fiery Becky in the c4 soap, annoyed bosses after being stuck filming in Liverpool and missed valuable rehearsal time - this was denied by Strictly.

Speaking to his partner last week Gorka hinted at his frustration over rehearsal time: "If you achieve what you did with no experience and no hours to train can’t wait to see the rest!"

Even James Jordan said in his critique of the couple: "Gorka did an amazing job because you can see she has no dance training and struggled with this one I don’t know where to start because it’s wasn’t that great. Off time at times, rigged, never closed legs on chases, not compact and heavy in movement Tough dance for her."

Fans flooded Twitter with comments about the pair after their jive.

"Gorka looked really annoyed and Katie was barely clapping. I thought they seemed a bit off with each other last week but this week it was really obvious," one fan wrote.

Another added: "Gorka and Katie DO NOT like each other."

While another simply said: "Ok. I’m going to say it…. There seems to be a weird vibe between Katie McGlynn and Gorka on #strictly. Not a ‘sexy’ vibe but a discomfort or a niggle……picked up on it last week and there it was again tonight. Weird, right?"

Other rushed to support the pair, who ex pro James said face being in the bottom two this evening.

One fan wrote: "Another superb routine from Katie and Gorka. Undermarked again though. What a fab duo."
