Anthony Quinlan is reportedly dating a professional from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘Emmerdale’ hunk – who is known for playing Pete Barton in the long-running soap – is said to be "smitten" with Dianne Buswell after they were introduced to one another through his co-star Gemma Atkinson after she made it to the ballroom and latin show’s finals over the weekend – narrowly missing out on the glitterball trophy.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Anthony and Dianne looked very cosy on Saturday night in the studio. He has told pals he is really into her and made the trip down to London to see her. He brought Jamie [Lomas, his former co-star] with him but only had eyes for Dianne. During rehearsals, she darted off the dancefloor and ran straight up to him in the crowd to give him a cuddle. He introduced her to Jamie, too. They seem like a lovely couple. They were very close at the show’s official after-party. They weren’t bothered who saw."
And that isn’t the only romance that flourished near the dance floor as Gemma is ruined to be dating dancing professional Gorka Marquez, but the pair have both played down relationship rumours the whole time they were doing the BBC show.
Gorka, 27, said previously: "She is a beautiful girl and she’s lovely.
"But we are just friends, like I’m friends with everyone on the show. It’s true that we’ve had some drinks together and stuff like that, but nothing else."
Gemma, on the other hand, recently insisted she doesn’t wish to discuss her love life, because she’s grown tired of talking about who she’s dating over the years.
The 33-year-old actress – who previous dated soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo – explained: "I really don’t want to talk about my love life to be honest. I don’t feel I need to respond to anyone about what I’m doing. I’ve had to talk about who I’m dating for the past 15 years. You’ve got to take everything with a pinch of salt."
