Alexandra Burke is said to be “furious” with her rival Gemma Atkinson as she’s believed to have been getting close with her dance partner Gorka Marquez.
The former Emmerdale star has already fired back at claims she’s struck up a romance with the Spanish dancer, but they are still the “talk of the make-up room”.
“Not surprisingly, Alexandra is furious about how it might impact her chances of winning. She’s very ambitious and is nervous about it all,” a Strictly insider told The Sun.

Gemma, 32, is partnered up with Aljaz Skorjanec, 27, and the pair have certainly been impressing the judges so far.
However, it wasn’t Alijaz who caught the gorgeous blonde’s eye as sources have said she clicked with Gorka when they met in the first group rehearsals.
A friend told the publication: “Gemma thinks Gorka is really nice. She’s been getting to know him and she loves kissing him."
