STRICTLY fans are convinced a professional dancer is about to quit the show.
Saturday night’s big Strictly finale saw Vito Coppola and Coronation Street star Ellie Leach take the Glitterball trophy.
But viewers think 31-year-old Vito’s fellow pro Gorka Marquez will leave after he and 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?”
And a third added: “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.”

Although Gorka, 33, made it to the final last year with Helen Skelton, in 2021 he and actress Katie McGlynn were second to leave the show.
Away from the show Gorka is dad to daughter Mia, four, and new born son Thiago with fiancée Gemma Atkinson.
And Gemma, 39, recently shared her thoughts on the dreaded Strictly curse.
When asked if she has any ‘anxiety’ when Gorka is away, she told The Metro: “Oh gosh, no! The only worry for me is where his partner is based.
