Gorka Marquez is reportedly considering leaving Strictly Come Dancing after seven years.

Gorka Marquez is reportedly considering leaving Strictly Come Dancing after seven years on the show.

The 32-year-old Spaniard has reached the final three times, including this year with Helen Skelton, but has just fallen short on each occasion.

A source told The Sun: "He looked so devastated last week because he knew the final might be his last chance of taking home the Glitterball, which had eluded him twice before.

"Gorka has become an established figure in the contest and a name in his own right, which could allow him to go on to bigger things.

"There's no suggestion of any bad feeling between him and the BBC.

"It remains to be seen if producers will now offer him a deal enticing enough to sign up for next year's show."

This year's series was won by presenter Hamza Yassin and his partner Jowita Przystal.
