Former Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson and her partner, professional dancer Gorka Marquez, have evolved as a couple since crossing paths on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017. They are now parents to Mia, six, and Thiago, two, and have launched their new podcast, Lost in Translation.

In an interview with OK! magazine, the couple shared insights into their podcast, discussing each other’s quirks and why certain habits irk them. Gemma mentioned their weekly routine of sharing annoyances with their producer and delving into cultural differences between Spanish and English.

Gemma revealed a clash in their culinary preferences, with Gorka disliking her childhood favorites like cheese pie and chippy tea with gravy, while she has to tolerate Gorka’s love for Spanish cured meats, which she finds unappealing.

Despite their differences, the couple acknowledged the attraction of opposites in their relationship. Gorka described himself as a perfectionist, contrasting Gemma’s more relaxed approach, as they playfully bantered about quirks like sock folding.

While Gorka is busy judging on the Spanish version of Strictly Come Dancing, their family tradition of watching the show together remains a cherished part of their routine. The couple hinted at their children possibly following in Gorka’s footsteps due to their early display of musical talents.
