Strictly's Gorka Marquez leaves fans in shock as he makes racy comments to Gemma Atkinson about their sex life

Strictly star Gorka Marquez left fans red-faced as he made saucy comments to his soap star partner Gemma Atkinson about their sex life. 

The dancer, 35, spoke on their Lost In Translation podcast about their fitness levels before making a saucy suggestion to his fiancée, 41. 

As they discussed their fitness levels, they weighed up who was fitter of the two - leading to Gorka asking: 'Can I pipe you tonight?' 

Gemma herself was as shocked as their followers, as she gasped: 'Did you just genuinely ask me publicly if you can pipe me tonight?' 

The Urban Dictionary definition of pipe is: 'The act of a male having sexual intercourse with a female' - making for a shock for fans. 

When a fan sent in the question: 'Who is fitter out of you both? And what are your strengths and weaknesses in fitness?', the couple locked horns.   

Fitness fanatic Gemma said: 'You're definitely fitter than me, you're extremely fit but you should be. You're a dancer for a living. I'm a lot more flexible than you aren't I? I stretch everyday, you've got to as you get older.'

Gorka then winked and said: 'I stretch her out. Can I pipe you tonight?

Gemma asked: 'Pipe or no pipe? He genuinely once years and years ago, you were planning to go out for something… before he was rushing out, he said "Can I just check before I go tonight is it pipe or no pipe?"

'You asked me so matter of factly because it determined whether he came home.' 

The Spanish native cheekily repled: 'Yeah because I don't wanna come back and have to thumb in a softie.'

Acknowledging that the conversation had changed, Gemma answered the original question, saying: 'I would say I'm more flexible', however Gorka cut her off and said: 'Can I check that tonight. if you're more flexible?'

Their last podcast saw them butt heads as they discussed how they organise their pans in the kitchen, while they were discussing tidiness in the kitchen.

However, Gemma was left frustrated at Gorka's need to have things organised a certain way and being over tidy. She explained: 'We've got a fitted hob oven, and it's been smashed for months. I dropped a glass bottle of olive oil on it.

'When Gorka was away for the six weeks, I ordered a new one. I had a new one fitted. Anyway, it's all done, sparkling new clean.'

She continued: 'Gorka's first day home, he doesn't even notice the hob. What he did notice underneath it. He went, "You can tell I've been away," and I went, "What do you mean?" and he went, "These pans like this for no reason."

'And I just thought you're a***d about the order in which the pans are in under the oven hob in a cupboard, which no one sees, but the brand spanking new hob that's no longer cracked and smashed, you didn't notice.'

Gorka then defended himself as he said: 'It's not that, it's about the practicality of getting the pans quickly.

'Also, there were pans that are brand new, they shouldn't be being used by nobody, and I only use them to cook certain things. Like, for example, there is a big pan, I just use it to cook the rice, because it's for my paella.'

Gemma then joked: 'I let the kids play with their play dough in that one the other day.... Not really.'

Gorka replied: 'No, but I can believe that, because the other day I went to get the spatula, and they were all in the playroom.'

'Yeah they want to play kitchens,' reasoned Gemma as Gorka hit back: 'Just buy them toys, not the things that we're used to cooking.'

Defending his tidy habits, Gorka said: 'I will never go to anyone's house and I think, "oh, I think this should be like this," and then organise it, because it's not my house, so you can tidy it.

'But if you tidy, tidy within the space that needs to be.'
