Gorka, who joined the show in 2016, faced speculation about a departure last year, after he and his celebrity dance partner Helen Skelton lost out to Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal in the final.
However, he was quick to deny the rumours, telling his fans not to believe them.
Gorka also participated in this year's series of the competition alongside radio presenter Nikita Kanda, though the pair became the second couple to be eliminated.
"I am beyond proud of [Nikita], for someone that doesn't have any dance experience or performance experience to come on this show and dance in front of millions of people for three weeks, I think it's incredible," he said after their elimination.
