It's Spanish to me. Sometimes leaks my face. If you had a pet pig, it'd be like a pet benjie. And tasty, incredible. My uncle Clive's view. vegan. Uncle Clive come round, didn't he? And he went, what's that? I thought you were going to say, I don't know it's on your arse. Does Gorka know he has a fan page dedicated to his ass? Yes, he runs it. Gross. Giovanni.

Hello, I'm Gemma Hankinson. And I'm Gorka Marquez. And this is Lost in Translation, the podcast with no judgment. In fact, we listen and we don't judge. Oh, we just, I don't tell you. Yeah. We help solve your. dilemmas and you guys get involved by letting us know who's right and who's wrong in our daily bickers should we say in our arguments now it's a little bit different today because we thought because of when you just launched it'd be nice for those who don't really know a lot about us to get to know us so on our social page which is at lost dot in dot podcast we put out there any questions that you have and we've had quite a lot I mean quite a lot and also some of these questions

Even if people know us, it's things that they might don't know about us because we don't maybe talk about them. Yeah. And we've literally just seen these now. The producers just handed them over to us now because they didn't want to give us in advance. Yeah. Because we want it to be honest and, yeah, hopefully you guys enjoy it. So it's kind of like a meet the host, meet the host type of up, isn't it? But I feel like some of these ones in my course are domestic.

Oh, really? Yeah, it could be because probably we have maybe different opinions. I have not looked at all of them yet. I just started reading them. I mean, the first one already, it might be a different opinion. So should we start? Yeah. Without further ado, let's do it.

Vamos! Okay, question one. Where was your first date? You see, this depends because... First date. Okay, first day ever. It was at the... We had pizza.

I was wearing a baseball cap. and it was at the hotel across from the we booked it near the train station was it the hoxton correct was that right yes it was the hoxie you've got a picture of it it was the hoxton hotel and we booked that because i needed somewhere near to euston station yes so that i could get the train home see basically we didn't see each other during the strictly filming did we i have the picture you have the picture of our first date yes i'm going to show you show you. Just keep talking,

keep talking. I'm not in you. We didn't see each other during the film and us strictly, believe it or not, because I trained in Manchester, Gorka trained in London.

And on Saturday, the show day is chaos. You're in from like seven in the morning and it's just non-stop until after the live show. Have you got it? Yeah. Oh yeah.

I mean, it's very dark. I'm like in silhouette. As if I wore a baseball cap for our first day. But we don't really see each other. So the only time we had chance to get to know each other was on the Sunday. And I always wanted to go home on the Sunday

because I had Norman and Ollie then, didn't that? And I always used to say to me, I've got to go home for the dogs. I want to see my dogs. And so I used to have to get a train in the morning. So I'd say to him, I can push it to like 11, 12 o'clock. We could have a brunch,

but then I'm on that train. So this time, you said, well, what about the Friday night when you come to London before the show on Saturday? So when I got to London on that Friday Thursday, rather than go straight to the hotel, we went and had a pizza, didn't we?

Yeah. You didn't think I'd remember that, did you? No. Well, there you go. You were with your great and black underarm with backpack. Yeah, I still forgot. It takes a piss out of me for using backpacks. I don't have handbags, I have backpacks.

You can fit more in a backpack. Okay. Who made the first move? I'll say me. Yeah. I messaged you after the rehearsals. You post a picture on the song. with a leg like that and you said my extra sword and I think I said do you all do

some rolling yeah roll your legs and your quads and stuff yeah you slid right into my messages I mean I only took you for a coffee in the lunch break yeah I was quite obvious so you you made the first move bless you when you guys met did you do lots of dates and late nights only ask as you're both into training and foodies well we used to meet in the gym actually we did on tour, didn't we? Yeah, even on sometimes at the weekends on the Friday or Saturday, because me, I used to live quite far from the studio, so I was allowed to stay. Also, it was excused to stay because I knew she was going to be there.

But on the Friday morning, or on the Saturday before the show, we'd go to the gym in the hotel. We were the only ones in the gym, so basically, we used to see us in the morning in the gym, just doing a little bit of cardio and then having breakfast. We did have a few nights out earlier on with our mates, didn't we, you know, on the tour and stuff. But we've never been, the time I've known you, I mean, I did a lot of clubbing in my 20s. But that for me kind of died off early 30s. So even before I met you, really, I wasn't really.

Now and again, I'll have a blowout with the girls. Yeah, that's the same. Like, we are more of like going for dinner and then have a dinner and stuff and then go home early anyway. And I think for us, our dates at the start, it was always, we still now love a lovely brunch. We sound so boring, don't we?

But I love, whenever we do interviews, they always say, how do you make time for date nights? For us, a perfect date night is just being home. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? A nice pizza, a good movie. Oh, I cooked. Yeah, you cook.

At home, no time scale, no one to dress up for or rush about for. Especially now with the children, like, by the time that we can be at home in our own, we just want to be at home in our own, because even when we're at home with the kids, it's just like, not chaotic, but you're rushing, you're moving, you're doing things. So sometimes you're going to go, just let us sat on the sofa. Yeah. Remember that time that we both got like...

We both got ill, didn't we? And the kids were at a nursery in school, and we were a bit poorly. And we stayed the whole day in the sofa watching Netflix. We watched the Tom Hardy franchise where he's that... What's that? Venom. Venom. We watched...

What was it that? Yeah, we watched Venom. We both lay at either end of the couch, and none of us were trusting a fart. We kept literally individually getting up saying, I'm going to trump after. We had to sit on. on the toilet to fart because we were both so ill. And we watched Venom, didn't we? Yes.

Was there anything that surprised you about each other when you first started dating? Yes. So for example, for me, because obviously I met her on the show and I met her as a celebrity, but they was one of the celebrities, you know? And it was one of my first couple of years. So obviously, you have in mind this idea

when someone says celebrity, you think of someone like, you know, buried this and that and whatever. But then when I met her, it was the first time I realized, oh, actually, now there's normal, you know. So I found you were very like normal, very grounded, very down to earth, still now. But that was one of the things there. Not that shocked me in a bad way, shock me in a very good way, because it made me more attract to you. That makes sense? Yeah, I think.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I think it's because for me, my, we just work in the public eye. for me a celebrity is like Jack Nicholson Cameron Diaz there's no one in the UK Tom Hardy yeah David Beckham

Yeah David Beckham Yeah people that you go around the wall And no matter where you are They know you Yes For me people who work on telly In the UK or on a soap Whatever you just

Your job's just in the public eye You're not really a celebrity I don't think in anyway My mum always said Regardless of what your job is Or where it takes you You remember your manners And just

Remember I'm the same. It's like when people say, oh, so you guys are a celebrity, I was like, well, I'm not a celebrity. I said, I am more popular because of my job. It's on the telly and it gets viewed for many people and people maybe recognize me and stuff, but I don't think I'm a celebrity.

Like I said, like, I go to Spain and no one knows who I am, and I love that. What surprised me about you was your knowledge. Of English. No, of, I know you're a dancer. But, like, when we started dating, obviously you have you've had how many partners have you had that I've been

around for nine eight dance partners yeah six seven on strictly nine years nine partners yeah but obviously the first one I didn't really know because you were on the show the same time as me the partners you've had where I've been off the show and you've been on the amount of dedication you have in terms of what's best for them what's best for their dance

what's going to make them comfortable like people think I'd just assume, oh, you'd choreograph on a Sunday night. You spend a lot of time on it. Like, I'd come downstairs and you'd be at the dining room table doing your little scriggles and your little number eight, whatever, and listening to them, walking around the house with the music on your phone going, da-da, and you're like, I don't know if she can do this.

I think she should do more. And in my head, I'm thinking, friggin' hell, it's on your TV show. Just say yes and do it. You know what I mean? But you're very particular, I would say, in a good way. And you like that with a lot of things. Like you don't do anything half-assed. If you're going to do something, it's 100%

which I really liked about you. Because I thought, oh, bless him, he really does care about them as the people, not just, let's do a dance and bugger off type thing. And you're still mates with them all as well, which is lovely. Do you know what I mean? When did you know that we were the one?

I still don't. I'm joking. Or am I? When did we know we were the one? I don't know Once you got pregnant Yeah when I got stuck with him No

Because even that we'd discuss before and We didn't just say Oh we're randomly having Shock surprise baby We planned both Mia and Tiago We said right from now Let's let's try Because we wanted summer babies

So we were very lucky In that aspect But I think it was When we realised how Because Gorka works away a lot And it's something we had from day one in our relationship and they say when someone's away from you you either it's either out of sight out of mind or it's either absence makes the heart grow

fonder and I think for the first time it definitely in my life anyway it was absence makes the heart grow fonder and I think we've worked so well because we're both very respectful of each other's careers very supportive of each other's careers there's no kind of jealousy or insecurity so it's kind of, you know, not necessarily they're the one, because oh my God, sparks fly. You know you're the one, they're the one because you're compatible in the most mundane ways, where it works when you're out of the country.

It works if I'm off in London. Everything's just still run. There's no stress or drama. Do you know what I mean? Yes. And I also feel like we are both very independent in our own ways, but we are very like, you know, sometimes your relationship with you are with someone because you need to or you, I think for us,

we have self, self-independent of each of each other but we also are together because we want to be together you know it kind of adds something yeah like for example I remember one of the things that you said to me in the beginning it was like if you don't want to be with me you don't have to I don't need you I'm self-independent you mean I'm with you because I want to be with you so if one day you feel that you don't want to be with me it's all fine yeah that was one thing that I was like oh okay

because you know sometimes sometimes you get reactions that you're like oh I have to be because you know or you have to be with that person because you don't know how to say or you upset or you're upset in the other person

or what you have or what you don't have what you do when you're younger yeah but like even I remember like when we were not long together you asked me you said to me what is your plans of the future

you say your future having a family or not because you were like I'm like six years older than you so as much as I love you if in the future you don't want to have kids

or you don't see yourself seeing a family, it's not going to work. You know what I mean? With some people, we don't even say that. Just go with it. And then when the moment I rise, they were like, oh, no, okay, bye. Yeah, but I had to, like you say,

I had to plan because I am six years older. No, I know. And I didn't, I've wasted loads of time in relationships where I thought, Christ, I should have got out of that years ago. And I thought, I just, I don't know if it's like a reset when you're 30, but I just thought from now on,

any person I date, you know, if it's not going anywhere. Yeah. I think it's the fact of if it doesn't add anything to your life I just didn't want to waste me time and it's the same for you you can be seeing someone

and it's like yeah it's fun it's all right it's whatever but because you're good on your own if it doesn't add something better a better quality than for me there was no point I even like for example like how long we've been together now

eight years almost nine years and nearly nine years so for example like me I know it might sounds like a cliche and you think I'm always moaning and I'm always like blah blah because I am like a grumpy person. Like, how you call me?

You call me a... Victor Meldrew. Victor Meldrew. He is like Victor Meldry. And I get that. But at the same time in nine years, there's no time that I look at you, or even when someone asks me about you,

and you're talking about, I'm talking about you. And then after, you know, sometimes when you're having a conversation and you go like, no, my neck, and you just realize and you think about it. Like, there is no days that I'm no amazed of, like, the things that you do. Like, people ask me, I was in Spain now. I was talking with my friends.

Oh, so what is Gemma doing? And the question is like, what is she not doing? She's doing this. She's doing that. She's doing this. This new thing. Then that. Like, I'm amazed of how, like, successful you are in every way and how much you worry, how much you, all the things that you do.

And also, like, I go away and the kids still being fed, dress, chains. Yes, I might come home and I go, oh, Gemma, you leave everything everywhere. But still, our house with the two children, a dog, and all the businesses. and all the things that you do is still running so amaze me you mean and also

how normal you still are like sometimes you are too normal that I go Gemma you shouldn't be like that but it's also good for me because I'm the opposite

sometimes I'm like going like You need to check yourself and you're the one who go like calm down you know you're just a bloody dancer do you know what I mean

so it's good I sometimes say to him listen it's not open art surgery you're not saving a life do you ever wish you'd been paired together and strictly from the start no

Absolutely not. We did a Christmas dance and it was enough. We did a Christmas special. I nearly. After a six-section, it was enough. And that's not, yeah, that was just because you training me wasn't good. You were telling me what to do, obviously, because that's your job. And she doesn't like me to be told by me.

And I kept saying, do not tell me to do five, six, seven eight when I want to do just six and seven. And but, you know what I think? I was being very correct. Like, Gemma, this is wrong. You know like this. You're like, do not talk to me like this. And I'm like, who do you think you are? I'm like, your teacher?

I'm not your partner right now I'm your teacher like Will you ever get married You could still use your maiden name We will get married We wanted to get married Ages ago didn't we Then Mia came along

And we said we'll do it when Mia's old enough She can be involved We can get a little floral dress And then Tiago came along And I just don't want to have a wedding whereby we've got a two-year-old climbing up us Because he'll want to be with me

He's a proper mummy's boy Isn't he? They want me to hold him and all this We've seen venues in small We spoke about doing it at a town hall in Manchester, which is lovely. We also spoke like, let's just go inside the document and let's go home. Yeah, I don't want a big fuss. I've never ever wanted a big white wedding ever.

It's never been on my radar. So we've said the two of us can just go, get it done. Ow, get it done. And then just have a little party after forever. That's what my sister did. But also, we are quite lazy in that way because we are comfortable like this, do you know? it has to be like now or not you know like let's do it now

no you have to do oh so lot yeah and a way you're away is away a lot as well you know it's my sister they did it at berry town hall

her and my brother-in-law Robb this was like 26 years ago and then we all went through an Italian because he's robs from Italy and it was Brill I just found it very funny you're my very best friends they go engaged

while after us one of them are married already and the other one got engaged last year and he's getting married next year that's what they do people do people are against a long engagement for some reason but you know what

he also puts me off because for Arduino my friend is a dancer and every time that I speak to him I was like what you're doing like oh I've been working I was like oh you've been working on the shows and not in the wedding just see

every day he's working on the wedding like two hours in meeting wedding planning venues and I was like you're just putting me off with the wedding, honestly. I know, it's a lot of fat. Like, I always, when people ask me, why you not get married?

I go, listen, I have two children. It's more responsibility than I'm getting married, you know? We should just do it. Get the document signed and then go to them, what we've done it. Go to the pub, no? Yeah, it's done. Yeah. Who sleeps on each side of the bed?

So as you're looking at us, say this is our bed. That's my side. We've got the TV here. Goak is on this side. I'm on that side because I sleep on my left, so I have my back to him. I live on my right. And he sleeps on his right. So we look with my laptop there.

We go, night kiss both turn the other way benjie sleeps between us sometimes you'll sleep snuggling on my belly sometimes it's me and tiago in benjy yeah so benjy sometimes likes to sleep you're like otters carry the baby on the belly he sometimes sleep like that sometimes leaks my face who's more competitive that's you 100% is it dancing in me very competitive i'm not really fussed i don't really funny enough this is a story for you so we in me school she gets some like dojo points no from doing things and stuff like that yeah so this morning she was having breakfast and we were like tidying up and you know sorting morning things out and the first thing she said after say good

morning she was like I'm wondering if how many I'm going to get today hopefully the Eagles win this week yeah she's obsessed with it and jemma said like but it doesn't matter if you does like no but we need to win and she went from it said it's just a taking part as well you don't always have to win and she went and then she was like oh she's obsessed with winning and I And I said, and I answered like, good, she needs to always win. Always win. No, because I'm, the reason I'm always saying to her, even if you don't win, it's fine. She ain't going to win at life all day, every day.

No, but that's what I think. She needs to accept disappointment and accept rejection. Correct. And be able to be okay with that. But you need to be going. I'm going to win. I want to win. Your mentality should be.

But then if you don't win out, it's too much of a fall. No, you need to go. The more you put on it, the higher the fall. You need to be so light that you want to win. You need to be so win the winner. But also, you have to teach and learn that you know always win. And if you lose, you need to be a good loser. And taking part is also as important.

But when you go with the mentality and you're unconscious, like, I'm not going to win. No, no, I'm not going to win. You're not going to win. I'll try my best. And if it doesn't go for me, that's fine. When I used to audition, when I was acting, I used to approach every single audition where I think, I'm going to try my damned artist to get this job. But if I don't get it, it don't matter.

I'm not going to, like, cry. You got the no already. So just go to win it I'm not going to cry Or get disappointed Or stomp or sulk And that's what I don't want them I don't want our kids

To be those type of kids If they don't get their own Yeah And if they don't get their own way They kick off absolutely not It wasn't for you Someone else has got it Be happy for them move on

Yeah but you also need to be Revere up more Competitive within yourself Not with the others Who's the strictest That's you Definitely You can tell

I'm quite laid back In parents and like your feet down I'm like a baby llama I just don't want the drama I'm very like I think it's all again the dancing

dancers tend to be very disciplined and a lot of we've been very like sometimes too much what does the other one do that gives you the ick what does I mean the egg

the ick makes you go oh sometimes in the morning if you're ill you grulch yeah you go yeah but you have to get rid of that see it makes me feel sick You do that sometimes.

It's Spanish in me. Yeah. Don't like that. But other than that? Bite your nails. Oh yeah, bite my nails and he hates it. I hate my nails because you stress me. And you know what I hate sometimes?

This is gross. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this. Sometimes, not even there, she picks. Picks the skin around them. Yes, but it's not there. Sometimes she wants to watch this series that I don't want to watch. So I want to go bad. And she stays downstairs.

And then the next morning, I come down, yeah, earlier, and she's been in the sofa, sad. You know when you have your feet there? Pick my feet. And see if it the skin of the feet and leave it on the sofa. So I found it disgusting. I don't leave it on the sofa. I do this and not all of it flicks off. No, you don't because if I come the next morning, I don't see it.

But you know what it's the noise. And we're talking the tiniest little sawdust, like tiny than sodas. It's disgusting. We're not talking about Ed Dean. Men, woman, who you think is all about this gemas, she does that and is awful. And then I come down. and I said like, Gemma, have you been picking your feet? No, I haven't.

And I'm like, what is this? I don't know. I don't know. I've been watching too much Ed Gein. It's skin. Gross. Do you have any nicknames for certain foods? I don't think we do, do it?

No. Any nicknames? I don't think you could have nicknames for food. I say scran. Do you want some scran? What's it scran? If you wanted some scran, something to eat. No, I'd never hear you saying that.

Oh. My dad used to say I'm so hungry I could eat a gang green leg Something my dad used to say Like a leg that was rotten Because he was so hungry Like a Spanish ham then

Yeah Yeah And I'm not Spanish ham Coming up Because it's nearly Christmas I know Very soon I walk downstairs In our kitchen

Bearing in mind I haven't eaten red meat In over 20 years I will walk downstairs And on our kitchen unit There will be a pig's foot A full leg It'll have the hoof on

It'll have hair on it and every now again he'll walk past and hack a piece off to eat because it happens every Christmas last year it got moved I moved it into the utility room last year because I couldn't bear it it's literally a full pig leg on the table my uncle Clive's vegan Uncle Clive come round didn't he and he went

what's that I was like it's a pig's leg the rest of the family obsessed with it our children obsessed with it there's nothing better for you than a good Iverical ham slice with a knife are as intelligent as dogs.

Yes. If you had a pet pig, it'd be like a pet benjie. And tasty? Incredible. A verigo ham, a maturated like in a 48 months. Ooh, only eat nuts, chestnuts. And you just snide with a knife, very thin on a warm play

with a sabadol bread with olive oil and salt. No, you do that. I'm there with my little... Are you all with me or no? I've got my little... I have a little mushroom nut roast. You have your mushrooms? I have my ham.

Mushroom nut roast for me. Does Gorka speak Spanish to the children? Yes, but not enough. Not enough. But it also, because I spend a lot of time away, and I'm the only one who speak Spanish. Mia does do very well with it, though. Mia loves doing Spanish lessons.

And writing and everything. He does loads of Spanish writing with her, and she speaks to your mom and dad a lot, and they don't speak English. So she can say, what does she say? She goes in Spanish, she says, hola, milamo mea, I'm five years. I'm in Manchester.

She always says. stuff like that, doesn't she? Yeah. And yesterday we were like writing, for example, how you say brother, sister in Spanish, how you say mom, dad. So she knows a lot. Tiago says Ola. And he had aios. If I whisper everything, like, for example, if he speaks with my mom and dad and I whispered to her ear the full sentence, she can repeat the full sentence, no problem. Like, it's amazing. So she has the ear. It's just the practice.

The repetition. And when you're away for long periods, it slips. But then when you're home, she's on it again. with me we play Spanish music or Disney cartoons or cartoons in Spanish news is on every morning yeah we have the Spanish news it's just more than when I'm not there um how do you manage the language barrier in the relationship it's lost in translation yeah it's not really so much of the language and you mean your English is fantastic it's your Spanish I'm my Spanish is shocking that's the next question how's Gemma's Spanish going I had less I had about seven lessons dinner with a brilliant teacher and it was enough because I don't want her to understand um and I got

really good and then we had Tiago so I had to stop the lessons and he actually genuinely said to me I don't want you to speak Spanish because you'll understand all my convo's yeah proper snide that and I just want to slack her off with my friends does Gorka get tired of speaking English

all the time when we go to Spain yeah because you have to translate for me when we go and see your parents yeah the only time that I feel like a bit of stress is that that's why sometimes ask me why we don't go to see your parents and the reason behind is that because it's very stressing

stress no it's very stressful because I'm there within one day I'm going Spanish English Spanish English and I don't know where to speak Spanish where to speak English and the thing is that it's not even for her but when she goes

I just go on my own to the supermarket to the coffee show I go Gemma you won't be able to because I know for a fact none of the people working there will speak English If we're in Madrid they do don't they but when we go to his parents It's Bill Bow. It's a lot quieter. Depends if it's young people,

but even sometimes young people won't speak. And we have, and she went to order and she was like, Goka, can you come here? I can order. So basically,

I'm like 24-7, cannot leave her alone. Well, you can. I'll get by. And he'd have to draw the object I'm speaking about. No, I know, but it's very difficult,

not just for you in general, for everything. So I have to go everywhere. So by the end of like three days, my head is about to explode. And his mum's pull. Portuguese. You've got Portuguese, Spanish and English to remember. It was one day we were in Madrid.

My mom said, you guys go for a walk, leave them with us. And you were like, are you sure how they're going to understand each other? We left, we went for a walk, have some lunch together, came back three hours. They had the best time. Yeah. I was panicking that Mia wouldn't understand what your mom and they wouldn't, if Mia wanted something or needed something, they wouldn't understand. They were dancing, they were playing. They got by.

so it was good would you ever move to Spain you've said you wouldn't go back there full time would you know we've looked at getting a place there haven't we yeah well not Spain it was we were looking at me yorka weren't we

I'm happy I don't know a lot of people ask me I could live in Madrid but again it's just a very different lifestyle like the rhythm of life is different very slow I feel like Spain is slower it's a beautiful weather

and the food is amazing but I don't know even when I go there now for the weekend is perfect, but probably if I have to live there for a week, the way everything runs with the siastas, closing the shops in the afternoon, the weekends, everything shuts. That's why they're less stressed, though. That's why your woman dad look like they do.

His dad sends me a video every morning. Before work, they'll go and walk at the local beach. They'll have a little coffee outside. And that's why I think they're a lot healthier over there. Yes, but there's no rush where there is. But we live with rush. We live with like, go, go, go. So for the holidays, yes.

Like, even when I was young and I was living there, at the weekends, it was one thing that I used to annoy me, the fact that you can't do anything. You don't have the freedom. You're just being restricted. Because everything's closed. Yes, you don't have a choice. So then you're like, yeah, but I need to do this. And like when you, imagine living there like us, our life there with our jobs and everything.

Sometimes at the weekend is when you only can do things. Yeah. But you won't be able to because it's shot. So you're like, oh. Someone said, how do you? You like living in Manchester? I love it. It's the best city.

You do like where we live now. We live like kind of about in the countryside. Yeah, no, I love Manchester. Not the weather much. The weather annoys me by that the UK in general. It's just nothing we can do about it, isn't it? I will, if you give me Manchester or the UK with the proper spring and the summer... We've had a good summer this year.

We had a great run. Two weeks. Nah, it was good. And we had that, we had the Indian summer. We had a nice blast in September. If you tell me that you have... have from June to mid-August, just June to mid-August, two, three days of raining, this will be amazing.

But it's just the weather. The problem is from the mid-August to June, it's raining. And then in the summer, it's raining. It doesn't rain that much. Can we do a poll on Instagram, please, about this, if it rains in the UK a lot or not? would you ever do a ballroom dance competition again me yeah or you not not me cracker no I don't think so

I won't be able to compete anymore the pictures of him in his little when he was competing in the championships are so cute because you were so young with a slick hair and everything his slicked hair back yeah no I don't think I would be able to compete now really what is in you won't be good enough I would be good enough

so why doesn't appeal the drive isn't there yeah like for example you remember last week i was supposed to go to london towards the competition the international you know and all all the guys that from strictly we all said the same like we all go watch it know because obviously we have friends and it's nice to go watch you know and see everything you go there and it's amazing how they dance like the technique and everything are incredible but we are at a different stage there you know like because our jobs it's more like tell a story so like performing in like a different way you choreograph for your partners yes you go there and you go like it's amazing what they do but doesn't make you feel

anything this like robots it's like they all look the same so precise so technical but there's nothing about yeah it's not like a remembrance sunday dance yes i know what you mean so i feel like now i'm able to do because i won't compete for like you try to be technical i want to just feel you know and make people feel when they watch you dance that's why we do on the shows what do you both want to do when you retire I live in Spain by the beach. You just said you won't go back to Spain? No.

Oh, no. I say for holidays, yes. You say live in Spain and the beach, I would like to have a house with lots of land. And farms, dogs, and horses. Get loads of rescue cows and pigs that you wouldn't be allowed to hack and eat at Christmas. I would have chickens, some little micro pigs, maybe a mule. Hmm. Maybe three dogs.

That's what I would love. Who were your celebrity crushes when you were younger? I used to like, you won't know him. There was a wrestler called Brett the Hitman Hart, him. There was also a wrestler called Sean Michaels, who I used to like. Yours now is Eva Mendez, isn't it? No. Is that who you fancy now? No.

Who'd you fancy now? When I was growing now. Margo Robbie, you fan. No, no. I think she's pretty, but... I know this is the thing that annoys me about Gorker, because like, if I say to If like my celebrity crush, there's loads of people like celebs who I think, oh, he's, I mean,

Ed Gein, Charlie Hunnan. Now? Now, yeah, Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hardy. I ask him, he goes, I don't know. There's got to be some women who you look at and go, Blummy neck.

There has to be. Ever Mendez. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, but not now. That was when I was growing up, I had the Ever Mendez in the Hitch movie. Right. So she was your celebrity crush.

I think Margaret Robert is very beautiful. Yeah. Like very beautiful. Yeah, she's stunning. And I like her in the movie with... Leo. Well, the Wolf of Wall Street. Yes, but that is a different era.

I like her in the movie because she's like an old era. I like her in the movie with Will Smith. The one that they steal people. Focus. Yes. Focus movie. I think in that movie she looks very good. I'm not saying that one.

I feel like Margaret Robin now is like the Cameron Diaz on the mask. Yes. That's her now. Cameron Diaz was beautiful, well, she is beautiful. And mine is well still is because you know, growing up, sly, Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Rocky. That's good, she lived for another more years. But the day that you get the notification of Stallone passed away, you will be devastated. Oh, I love him.

I genuinely love him. You will fly to America to the funeral. I'll do the steps. Yeah. Yeah, we've got, I've got pictures of him in the loft. I bet. You won't let me put them up. I've got so many Rocky pictures.

This is a big statement, you know, and I touch it never happened, you know. But you will be more upset the day the Stallone dies than the day I die. No, well, I just love his story, his background. I think he's brilliant. Everything, you just love everything. I think he's wonderful. The amount of times that you said to me, have you watched Rambo, first blood, have you watched Rocky Ford? Every, at least once a month you tell me to watch it, even if I watched it already.

And I met him at the last Rambo premiere in London. and he was so lovely and he was just, he's got massive hands I shook his hand and his hand was massive. How about Young Club Van Dam? Yeah, JCVD.

I've met Van Dam as well. Another one, you see. I had, my friend directed a movie that Van Dam was in and they were shooting in the UK he was like, mate, I know you're obsessed with him do you want to come and meet him.

I went in Van Dam's trailer with him and his few assistants and he had a little coffee. Oh, nice. With Van Dam. And I took a picture. It's as tall as me. That I wanted him to sign.

I took a picture. I was like, excuse me. And he kept talking. And I was like, can I, and then the end I thought, no, I don't matter. I didn't ask him. I was too embarrassed. I had a picture of him. You should have.

Oh, this one is funny. What are the meanings behind Gorkas tattoos and do you have any tats, Gemma? I don't know. Some of them, I don't know. You've got a lot. You mean your back is covered, isn't it? From the top of your neck to your asshole is practically covered. No, the beginning of my bum cheeks.

Yeah, it's, you've got a Buddha, you've got a lion. Yeah. Lutus flowers. You're on about getting in some of the kids, aren't you? No, no, I wanted to have the name in the heartbeat, yeah. Why did you get so many? I like them, I don't know, I like them. I'm just looking at them on.

I've genuinely never really looked at your tattoos. Why have you got number three? What does that mean? What's the love art? It's the hard finger, and this is infinity. That's infinity. Yeah. I've genuinely never sat and looked at what.

If someone said what tattoos are on Gorka's arm, I... He's distracted for all the things. Good. I don't know. I don't know what's on your arm. I thought you're going to say, I don't know it's on your arse. Do you have angels?

I have a little cherubs. Little cherubs you have. Yeah. I had three tattoos. Two removed. Two have been removed. So I've only got one now. I've got one on the little,

I've got a mirror, which is like Arabic writing for Princess on the back of my neck. I used to have one on my lower back and one on my tummy. But I got them done in Magaloff outside BCM. So they got removed. And let me tell you,

laser removal. for a tattoo is 20,000 times worse than an actual tattoo. So if anyone's thinking to getting a tattoo, think carefully because you do not want the removal. It wrecks. That's why I got my full back cover because I didn't

want to remove what I had before. But before we say goodbye... I've got one more question for you. Yes. I have one for you. You want for me, yeah? Last question before we say goodbye. Okay. Yeah? You go first. Does Gorkonoa has a fan page

dedicated to his arse. I don't... Yes, he runs it. Imagine. I don't know it because I go tag in few posts and pictures. But yeah. I didn't know this. I think it's on Twitter.

It's called Gorkas Ars. Yeah, I can show you. And basically, he's just pictures of my arse. Was it from the leather pants? Because you wore leather pants ones, didn't you? Yeah. I think it's called Gorkas Ars, isn't it? Dedicated.

I'm not on Twitter. Gorkas. I got rid of Twitter quite a while ago. because it was just, every time I opened it was so negative. So I deleted my account. I had a Twitter cleanse and it felt amazing. Yeah, look. Let me see.
