Gorka Marquez, star of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, was left in tears on It Takes Two on Wednesday night.
He was speaking about his fiancé Gemma Atkinson, who he met on the BBC show, when appearing on the spin-off show this week.
Gorka explained how meeting Gemma on the show changes his life for the better.
The infamous ‘Strictly curse’ has seen a number of relationships form on the show over the years.
Other couples to come out of the show include Janetta Manrara and Aljaz, as well as Pasha Kovalev and Rachel Riley.
Gorka Marquez breaks down talking about fiancé Gemma Atkinson
In an emotional interview on the BBC Two spin-off show, Gorka recalled how he met his future wife.
"I met Gemma in 2017. She didn't dance with me she danced with Alijaz," he said.
"We just became very good mates and I think that was the key because we were friends before anything happened and now we have a beautiful daughter."
He added: "Without Strictly I would never have Gemma.
"I think she's the best person in the world.
"She inspires me every day. She makes me a better man, a better person, a better person, better everything.
"I'm so grateful to have her and call her my fiancée."
Strictly Come Dancing returns on BBC One on Saturday from 6.40pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
