Noticeably kept his mouth tightly shut during the crowd scenes around Claudia, perhaps his dental surgery is incomplete
They haven't reported the incident to the police, understandably. They wouldn't want the publicity that they were heading to a gay club

He was showing off his smile earlier in the week on twitter, it looked fine.

Why wouldn't the show want it known their dancers were going to a gay bar?

Gosh, I'm glad I didn't know you could only go to a gay bar if you're gay. I'd have missed out on some amazing nights out.

If they were trying to keep it secret, that didn't work too well, I'm thinking.

I hope Gorka is recovering - a nasty incident to happen to anyone.

I don't think "Unnamed ballroom dancer might be Gay, might not" is really Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalism, is it?

Some might say it depends on the newspaper but I'd hope Strictly would rise above all that and support their dancers regardless.

They have had two gay contestants this series and two gay panel judges, so it doesn't matter if the professional dancers are gay either does it?

He's not gay. He has a girlfriend, if Gorka is gay for going to a gay bar then on that basis Alijaz and Neil must be as well because they were with him when it happened. That's despite them both being married and engaged to women respectively...

It's a shame he won't report it. Just checked.

I can assure you Flamingos, or The Flamingo as I knew it, back in the day is certainly NOT a gay club anymore. It could probably be described as "mixed", just as Funny Girls is predominately straight.

I have no idea why it was even mentioned that the three dancers were going to the Flamingo. Why say it if they actually didn't get there? Why was it simply not reported that they were walking in the town after the show? Doesn't make sense. The Flamingo bit was irrelevant. Gorka wasn't attacked in there.

Who knows, maybe they had a punch-up between them

Lots of Gorka in the opening pro routine and nice flashes of his gorgeous smile.

Gorka is married to a female dancer who appeared as one of he backing dancers in quite a few of the Blackpool numbers.

I don't have a clue about Gorka's private life.

Gorka has a (female) fiance named Lauren who is also a dancer. He's not gay. Wouldn't matter if he was - but it seems like some people are looking for some "juicy" aspect to this story as if a persons sexual orientation is a piece of gossip. If he were it would just reflect badly on the people who attacked him, not on the victim of the attack.

Glad to see him back dancing this week with all his teeth intact!

Thanks. I've deleted the second post. I was trying to amend a spelling mistake in my post and DS went a bit barmy on me!

Exactly what I said - where they were going was not relevant. Why was the Flamingo even mentioned if they did not get to the club? But it does seem strange that this has not been reported to the police.

Since when did you HAVE to be gay to go to gay bar or nightclub?? I'm straight as a poker but some of my best nights out have been at gay clubs!

Anyway, maybe he didn't report it because he didn't want to...we don't know the full circumstances so...

His teeth looked fine to me, thought he'd have the old gapped tooth going on?!

He's not gay, maybe bi but that's his business. Hope he's back again next year and those thugs didn't put him off Blackpool... although I've heard it is very rough there.

I doubt many people would be shocked at a dancer going to a gay club.
