Now, speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the pro dancer reassured fans that they will walk down the aisle one day. He told us: “We will do it, it’s just not at the moment. We are very good like this, especially with having the kids.
“Thiago is not independent yet so we don’t want to go into the wedding and be carrying him or halfway through the wedding he starts screaming that he only wants mummy, you know?”
The 34-year-old went on to tease their children’s involvement in their big day in a few years’ time. Gorka went on: “So, we will wait until he’s independent like when he’s three or four so maybe he can walk with me and bring the ring and Mia can bring the flowers, things like that.
“At the moment, he will be like, ‘Mummy, I want you’ halfway through the wedding and we will have to be like, ‘Okay, can we stop please?’”
