Strictly finallists Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez have reunited as fans speculate whether the professional dancer has wed his fiancée Gemma Atkinson.
The Countryfile presenter's partnership with Gorka, 32, was beloved by Strictly fans as Helen battled her way to the competition's final, and now she has shared a sweet picture of the pair.
Helen, 39, is taking part in the Strictly Live tour without Gorka, and is partnered with professional Kai Widdrington, but her former tutor stopped by to say hello.
Helen shared a snap on her Instagram Story of herself, Kai, Gorka and two others at a restaurant, with them all dressed casually for the occasion.
She wrote: "Kids here. Fam here. Friends here. Manchester let's go...", tagging Kai and Gorka in the post.

She wrote alongside the photo: "I thought we were catching up... They started to give me notes."
Gorka's support for Helen during Strictly, following her split from husband Richie Myler, captured the nation's heart, and Helen has recently admitting she's missing him while on the tour.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: "It's really difficult not to be with Gorka because we're such good friends.
Gorka caught up with Helen and Kai recently (instagram.com/gorka_marquez)"I've been asking him for advice a lot, so it feels like he's here. I'd have loved for him to do it, but it's almost like he's in the group."
She added: "It's such a tight knit group in the studio anyway. We all talked and all had a laugh. so it's different, but it wasn't a worry and like 'oh my god what's going to happen'.
It's a busy time for Gorka, as his fiancé Gemma Atkinson is expecting their second child, and a major hint has been dropped that they may have secretly tied the knot.
It came after Gemma shared photos of their newly decorated kitchen, and two mugs on the shelf were labelled "Mr" and "Mrs."
Earlier this month, the former Hollyoaks actress revealed she and Gorka are expecting a baby boy, after welcoming daughter Mia in 2019.
Soon-to-be mum-of-two Gemma posted three stunning photos of herself to announce the news with her 1.8 million Instagram followers.
