Gemma Atkinson has laughed off rumours she’s dating ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional Gorka Marquez.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star has said she’s very much single and poured cold water on speculation that she has been enjoying a romance with the dancer, who was partnered with Alexandra Burke on the BBC One ballroom and latin show.
According to the Daily Mirror on Sunday newspaper, the busty blonde beauty said of the rumours: "I don’t think anything of it.
"I know what’s going on in my life so whatever everyone else wants to think I just let them think it because I know."
Despite being single, the ‘Emmerdale’ star previously said she would love to settle down and get married one day, but wants to find the right person first.
She said: "No, I’m not dating anyone at the moment. I wish I was. It’s like I go through phases. I said to my mum the other day, ‘It’d be nice to have a fella.’ Then the day after, I was like, ‘I’m so glad I’m on my own!’
"I’d much rather be on my own and be happy than be in the wrong situation with the wrong person. I would love marriage and I would love kids, but not until I’m in a place where I’m ready for them. I don’t want to just fit the mould because I’m running out of time. No chance!"
At the start of ‘Strictly’, Gemma confessed she was hoping to find love on the programme.
She said: "I’ve been single for ages so there wouldn’t be any curse for me. It would be a blessing."
However, the 33-year-old actress insisted she wanted to put all of her energy into the challenging dance routines than a man.
She revealed: "Maybe once the series is over, but not right now … we’ll see what happens. I know people want to see a Strictly romance but I’m not going to be giving you any I’m afraid, because I’m so focused on my dancing."
