Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Gorka\u2019s future on the beloved reality dance show.<\/p>\n
Writing on Reddit, one viewer outlined: \u201cAnyone else have a feeling that Gorka will call it a day after this series if he\u2019s out early doors with Nikita?”<\/p>\n
They went on to add: \u201cI was quite surprised he came back this year after he seemed so devastated not to win in 2022, but I\u2019ll be really gutted if he does leave as I see him as one of the best pro dancers and choreo.\u201d<\/p>\n
A second insisted: \u201cHe looked so mad when he didn’t win and I thought he would just throw in the towel and spend time with his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

I commented earlier that he already looks p****d off and I don’t feel he thinks this year’s partnership will be his finest hour.\u201d<\/p>\n Another fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to agree: \u201cI\u2019d love Gorka to win one day, but I don\u2019t think Nikita will do it for him #strictly.\u201d<\/p>\n Given that Gorka\u2019s partner Gemma Atkinson, whom he met on the 2017 series of Strictly, has just welcomed their second child, could he be planning to leave the show to spend more time with his family?<\/p>\n Nikita and Gorka could potentially turn things around with a more upbeat number this weekend, as they are set to perform a Charleston to Beyonce\u2019s hit song Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).<\/p>\n But they will have to make a significant improvement in the coming weeks if Gorka is to go one better than he did last series when he made it all the way to the final with his celebrity partner Helen Skelton.<\/p>\n The Spanish dancer missed out on the famous Glitterball trophy last year after he and his partner were pipped to the post by winners Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przysta\u0142.<\/p>\n Viewers will need to tune in this weekend to see if Nikita and Gorka can increase their scores in a bid to stay out of the dreaded dance-off.<\/p>\n
