As per Strictly Come Dancing tradition, there were a lot of romance rumours during the latest series.
And most of the 2017 speculation surrounded the relationship status of Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez – who weren't actually paired together but were subject to endless tabloid stories.
Anyway, professional dancer Gorka seemingly confirmed what everyone already suspected yesterday (February 5) after he posted a photo of the couple cuddling at a night club in Nottingham.
Or maybe they're just trolling us now?
Enjoying a bit of downtime from the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour (and not helping to dispel those dating rumours), the pair can be seen getting close – and naturally, fans are here for it.
Commenting on Instagram, one person wrote: "oh is this a confirmation???" while someone else said: "we knew it all along."

Gemma also posted a photo alongside Gorka, Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara on the dancefloor and on a double-date night with Chloe Hewitt and Neil Jones.
Back in December, Gemma addressed the rumours in an appearance on Lorraine, explaining: "No, I'm just pals with Gorka.
"Everyone gets on so well on Strictly. It's a cliché but we're all like a family. We all get on. We even have a little WhatsApp group so we can all keep in contact.
"People just love drama though, and they love romance, so they try and pinpoint things."
Gorka's partner Alexandra Burke had also denied that Gemma and Gorka were dating, saying: "I don't know where he's got the time to have anything going on, to be fair. You literally can't believe anything you read. You can't believe those kinds of things."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One.
