Can you link to the tweets because as far as I recall he's never publicly mentioned it.

All he said was "It was a bad experience and I can't wait to get back to dancing" - he never mentioned an attack, or anything like that.

Then why did he talk about it on Twitter.
Don't know and don't really care. Got my own life!

Hmmmm. Very odd. She was a backing dancer in Blackpool as well, and photo of them together were posted on Instagram that night.

Looks like she dumped him. Something obviously happened at Blackpool to change her mind about him.

Yeah, I noticed that a couple of weeks ago, doesn't mean that it has anything to do with the incident though. If it did he would have been off walking into a door like everybody else.

Sound like it might be Gorka the Porka?

We won't see Gorka back next year, I think. He was by far the least successful of the newbies, and now this.
I would be very surprised if this was the case. Yes, he & Tameka went out early, but nobody blamed that on his ability to teach, choereography or attitude. They were unfortunate to get a terrible song the week they went out, especially when quite a few other contestants had a really strong week. With such strong competition and Tameka's marmite personality, they were never going to last much longer.

The warm reception Gorka recieved when he danced with Anastascia was a big plus for him. In fact, he's been pretty warmly recieved throughout the series I'd say. He's also going to be partnering Lesley Joseph on the tour.

This thread is becoming unpleasant. Gorka was attacked. There is to be no case brought (know how many rape cases never make it?) He and his fiancée split and now there is speculation about him ... as?

Then who did and posted it on his Twitter? Is it pick on anyonefortennis night or are you stalking me?
...stalking? What the hell??

Good grief, some people on this forum, I swear.

Anyway, what is this tweet you're talking about? Do you have a link to it? Or did you get this from ITV again?

Something seems not quite right, could be just really bad timing or she chipped his teeth.

I think (s)he means the insta about the bad experience that Nakatomi mentions above.

Of course Gorka posted this days after the story was already in the press, so was hardly him spinning stories. Tameka got a number of messages asking how he was so I'd imagine he got lots more and he really had to give some reply, so I think he gave the minimum hoping it would end there.

No, I think Gorka did rather well in upstaging longtimer Brendan with Anastacia. Look how much she perked up when she danced with Gorka one week... I know where the problem lies

People always show themselves up when they do this. They protest they're not interested - except they're interested enough to read the whole thread and even go to the bother of posting about it.

I do feel like maybe there's more to this story. I found the lack of BBC mention on ITT etc quite odd, like they didn't want to draw attention to the story, and I remember when Gorka first joined looking at his twitter and one of the main things I noticed was how loved up he was. I think he made a really good impression on the show this year, if he's not back next series then I think it'll suggest there was something more to this situation.

I wondered about that too - that she found something out and the attacker was in fact her.

I hope Gorka comes back next year, he seemed really nice and sweet, certainly on It Takes Two. His dance with Anastasia was fantastic, he should've been partnered with her in the first place!

There's definitely more to this story unfortunately.

I agree and Brendan should have got Laura - possibly giving Tameka to Giovanni.

Hope this is wrong, l like Gorka and would love to see him next year.
He's doing the tour with Leslie so fingers crossed that means he's staying

I am not saying it didn't happen, but what puzzeled us work how his lips were not damaged, but lost the front teeth??.
When I was assaulted I had a small fracture in a tooth that resulted in it being removed and there wasn't much damage to my lips. I only took about three punches but the scuffle tore my clothes and I also picked up a black eye. Something similar could have happened to Gorka,

Had a bust up with his gf, got drunk, fell over and hit his teeth on the pavement.

My friend managed to knock 3 teeth out when he fell over drunk but didn't have a scratch on his face.

I agree also Gorka taking part in the Christmas special and the tour is surely a good sign that he will return next year.
