Gorka Marquez of Strictly Come Dancing has said that he is unclear if he would return to the competition next year.
Since 2016, the professional dancer, 33, has starred in the long-running BBC series.
He has dated celebrities such as Alexandra Burke, Katie Piper, Maisie Smith, and Helen Skelton.
This season, he participated alongside radio personality and broadcaster Nikita Kanda, however they were eliminated in the second round.
However, he has recently stated that it is unknown whether he would return next year.
Gorka was asked about his future on the programme during a Q&A session with his Instagram fans.
‘Are you returning to Strictly Come Dancing next year as a professional dancer?’ one fan asked.
He replied: ‘I get asked this a lot! I hope so, it’s not my decision but I would love to!’
‘It’s the best show in TV and I am grateful to have the chance to be a small part in it.’
Gorka has twice reached the finals of the dance competition, however he has never won the Glitterball Trophy.
He did, however, meet his fiancée Gemma Atkinson on the show.
Despite not being paired together, the couple began dating on the 2018 Strictly Come Dancing tour.
Gorka and the ex-Hollyoaks actress, 39, have already had two children together and will marry in September 2021.
However, Gorka said earlier this year that he almost didn’t return for the 2023 edition of the dancing competition after losing out on precious family time the previous year.
The Strictly pro had to leave Gemma and baby Thiago in the couple’s hometown of Manchester to begin training for the show’s most recent season, which concluded last week.
‘It’s quite heartbreaking, you know, to have to leave again a few days after Gemma gives birth and not be at home,’ he said on the Life Behind The Lens documentary a few months ago.
He added: ‘In my head, it makes me think I want to quit and just be at home for the next three months, but at the same time, I need to do my job and work.’
Strictly Come Dancing is streaming on BBC iPlayer.
