Strictly Come Dancing’s Gorka Marquez makes surprise U-turn in huge announcement
Strictly Come Dancing fans will be delighted to hear they’ll get to see Gorka Marquez perform on stage, albeit not on this year’s BBC series. The professional dancer was signed back up for the BBC One dance contest this year and was seen during the opening number of the first live show of the 2025 series.
However, Gorka confirmed back in August that he wouldn’t be competing with a celebrity partner this year as he was taking on another role that would occupy his Saturday nights for the foreseeable future. He revealed he would be on the judging panel for the Spanish version of the show.
Fans in the UK don’t need to get too upset as Gorka will be back to perform for the Strictly: The Professionals UK Tour next year.

Gorka previously confirmed he wouldn’t be paired with a celebrity on this year’s series, telling fans on Instagram: “I am happy to announce that I will be back for season two of BAILANDO CON LAS ESTRELLAS as a judge from September.
“Due to the filming dates this means that I won’t be competing with a partner this year in Strictly but I will be a part of lots of the group numbers and will be back for final weeks of the show to support the rest of my fellow pros and their celebrities in what is going to be an AMAZING SERIES.
“As always thank you for all The love and support and remember! Keep dancing!!!”
