Mystery as Strictly star’s fiancée snubs his stunning partner – sparking ‘secret feud’ rumours

STRICTLY star Gorka Márquez's fiancée Gemma Atkinson has snubbed his dance partner Nikita Kanda by not following her on social media.

Radio host Nikita is taking part in this year's series of the BBC dance competition alongside pro dancer Gorka.

Nikita follows and likes Gemma's Instagram posts, whereas Gemma doesn't appear to engage with Nikita's profile.

But the likes of Zara McDermott and Graziano Di Prima's wife both follow each other, Joe Sugg follows Bobby Brazier and Adam Thomas's wife follows Luba Mushtuk.

A fan who spotted it told The Sun: "It's so weird that Gemma isn't following Nikita - especially as Nikita likes all of Gemma's posts.

"Gemma doesn't even like the pics with Gorka in!"

It comes after Nikita described the Strictly curse as a "blessing".

Previously speaking to The Sun when asked if it could be a blessing, she said with a laugh: "Hopefully, yeah!

"But that’s not in my mindset because I am so focused on enjoying the show and I want to get stuck into it and learn the dances.

"I am fully single. I’m just focused on work now — my breakfast show and Strictly."

Nikita and Gorka performed the waltz to Whitney Houston's classic Run To You last Saturday.

They managed to score 18 out of a possible 40.

Some viewers of the BBC show are convinced that they could be the first to leave the competition.

Many took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with one musing on X: "She won’t be in the competition for long which is unfortunate for Gorka."

Another put: "Nikita: pretty but she seemed incredibly out of time," as a third wrote: "Dance Off Prediction - Nikita and Gorka vs Eddie and Karen."

Another said of Nikita: "She did no dancing in that routine Nikita."

Gorka has been a professional dancer on Strictly in 2016.

Gemma and Gorka met on set of the show a year later while the former Hollyoaks star was dancing with Aljaž Škorjanec.

They confirmed their relationship in 2018.

The couple, who got engaged in 2021, share two kids together.
