"It's the best show on TV and I am grateful to have the chance to be a small part in it.”
Despite participating in the show since 2016, Gorka has not yet clinched the glitter ball trophy.
Earlier this week, Strictly viewers speculated that Gorka would leave after he and his celeb dance partner, Nikita Kanda, became the second pairing to leave the competition this year.
Writing on Reddit, one person said: "I can see Gorka leaving."
Another said: "Anyone else have a feeling that Gorka will call it a day after this series if he’s out early doors with Nikita?"
A third penned: "I was quite surprised he came back this year after he seemed so devastated not to win in 2022, but I’ll be really gutted if he does leave as I see him as one of the best pro dancers and choreo."
