Earlier this month, the couple celebrated their third anniversary – with the professional dancer teasing a proposal. Appearing on Steph's Packed Lunch the day before their big day, Gorka confessed he had already confided in Gemma's mum.
"I have something to plan but I will not say or I will give it away… your mum knows everything, she's my friend, she knows everything," he said, which prompted Gemma to call him "sneaky" for having secrets.
Gorka's plans come after the couple had to cancel a romantic weekend away. Gemma explained: "We were supposed to have a weekend away, we'd planned it at the end of last year, we all said, like most people did, 'oh by February we'll be back to normal.' So we booked babysitters, a hotel, everything, but clearly, that's not going to happen."
