She’s thought to be enjoying the first flourishes of a new romance with Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez.

But Gemma Atkinson, 33, is reportedly engaging in some playful text and video exchanges with former contestant Simon Rimmer, 54, in a WhatsApp group shared by the show’s broad mix of celebrity novices and ballroom professionals.

The naughty messages are said to be a source of amusement for other members of the group as Gemma continues to win high scores on Strictly, while married Simon – who was eliminated in week five – focuses on his presenting duties with Sunday Brunch.

Fellow former contestant Reverend Richard Coles told the Daily Star: ‘Some of the group excelled themselves when it comes to naughtiness - in particular, Gemma and Simon.

‘I couldn't possibly comment what type of videos and messages get shared, but there are eye-watering things.’

Speaking to Thursday morning's edition of Lorraine, Gemma admitted the contestants regularly stayed in touch via a WhatsApp group as she reflected on her rigorous rehearsals with dance partner Alijaz Skorjanec and surprise weight gain since joining the show.


naughty Gemma going for the strictly curse



at least Mollie & AJ are both single and can do whatever they want, but Gemma needs to stay away from Simon, especially since he's a married man

Good old Gemma serving a personality that plank face could only dream of

no, i didn't mean it like that, well take Mollie for example, she just really takes it slowly with AJ, not wanting to use the romance thing for votes or anything, she loves him as her friend, and i know there must be more of a romance than she says yet, but it's nice they are not using the romance for the votes and support

I don't watch it so no idea of dramas or anything. Just annoys me how it always seems to be blamed on the woman.

well sometimes i also get annoyed for that, but here i can just see Gemma as attention seeking, she first was linked to Gorka, then Aljaz, and now Simon

this puts all the attention on Gemma, negative attention which isn't very helpful going into the quarter finals i think

Gemma and "personality" shouldn't be in the same sentence together

This sounds like the media misconstrued what was said to get a story (shock!) as it mentions that this group all see the messages. Surely if anything was going on between the two it would be private
