Posing with their adorable dogs, Norman and Ollie, Gorka showed off a huge smile as they went for a country walk in the National Park. The dancer captioned the post: "Sunday walks with the boys!" complete with some dog emojis. Cute! And the fun didn't stop there. On Monday, Gorka went for another country walk in the Stocksbridge area, which is just east of the Peak District, but this time with girlfriend Gemma and baby Mia in tow.

The trip comes soon after their appearance on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special, where Gemma and Gorka performed together as a couple for the first time. Dancing to I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa Clause, the pair performed a jive and received a score of 35. Prior to the special, Gemma spoke to HELLO! and other reporters about her experience on coming back to the Strictly ballroom as a new mum.

She explained: "My stamina has completely changed, massively. During Strictly, one of the dances I found the hardest and got the lowest score for was the Jive, and that's what we're doing for the Christmas special - so I've been thrown in at the deep end again. It's just something I need to try and get over it and enjoy it."
