Inside Strictly stars Gorka Marquez and Gemma Atkinson's 'dream home'

With preparations underway for this year's Strictly Come Dancing, professional dancer Gorka Marquez will soon be making his way back to BBC's glittering ballroom.

But when he heads home after a long day of rehearsals, he'll undoubtedly be chilling out with fiancé Gemma Atkinson in their stunning Manchester pad.

The pair first met during Gorka's second series on the show in 2017, when he reached the final with Alexandra Burke and met his future wife Gemma.

Since then the couple have been inseparable, getting engaged on Valentine's Day last year and moving in to their beautiful modern family property in September the year before.

Gemma often gives her 1.7 million Instagram followers sneak peeks into her family life, proving the duo's residence to be a stylish yet practical dream home, fit for their young daughter Mia and their pet dogs Norman and Ollie.

And it's not hard to see why Gemma and Gorka call their posh pad their "dream home".

Snapshots and clips of the house that the 37-year-old mum has previously shared on her Instagram stories show an array of gorgeously designed rooms, including a huge gloss dark grey kitchen with a sleek white floor.

Complete with a marble-topped kitchen island with comfy bar stools, their kitchen looks like an ideal social space for hosting friends and family - and for easily cleaning up any musky paw prints or hand prints.

In a Instagram story Gemma posted last year, her sweet daughter Mia can be seen comfortably strapped into a booster seat as the families dogs happily roaming the kitchen. Addressing her followers, Gemma said: "Good Morning! I think they're waiting for you to drop your toast but you've ate it all haven't you!"

Although the gorgeous kitchen is clearly a much-loved space, the high-energy couple have made sure a trip to the gym is easily accessible with a 'fitness HQ' in their home.

Gemma, who manages to fit work outs into her packed schedule, often hits their sleek grey gym which is filled with natural light and equipped with a treadmill, large weights area, cross trainer and exercise bike.

Elsewhere, their new-build home boasts a modern aesthetic with a simple white and grey colour scheme, a huge flat screen wall mounted TV, and a glass fireplace built in below.

As if that wasn't enough, the outside space has been transformed to include a play area for Mia, a meditation space for Gemma and a lawn, as well as a multi-level decked area and on-trend firepit.

They even put exercise equipment outside during the summer months so they can work out whenever the sun shines.
