Gorka Marquez addresses his reaction to losing Strictly

Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez, 32, his pregnant wife Gemma Atkinson, 38, and their three-year-old daughter Mia have been enjoying their last holiday as a family of three.

Gorka has been duly updating his 800,000 followers on Instagram throughout the trip as the family enjoy some sun, sand and sea.

However, one collection of beach snaps the dancer posted was soon taken down by Instagram, leaving Gorka incredibly confused.

On Tuesday afternoon, Gorka took to his Instagram story, accepting answers from his fans as he wrote: “Instagram deleted my last holiday post!! Anyone know why that happens?”

He quickly added an update with a picture from the deleted post saying: “So Instagram took down these pics for apparently being too violent,” with a shrugging emoji.

Mere hours later the dancer was able to repost the snaps, explaining the situation and taking a general survey as he wrote in the caption: “What you guys think?? Let me know in the comments and like it if you don’t agree.”

The pictures included Mia and Gorka playing on the beach, running about and building sandcastles while both only wore swimming bottoms.

In the comments section, a few fans were quick to speculate why the post had been taken down by Instagram, as Kat1987_ wrote: “Gorka, it’s more than likely due to ‘nudity’.

“The vast majority of people will just see a family on holiday having fun. But the internet is a cesspit for sick people who could screenshot your photos. I know I don’t have to spell out what for, there’s lots of articles about individual cases.”

However, the few offering explanations didn’t stop countless fans berating the social media platform for taking down what they saw as innocent family photos.

Andrea_1607 wrote: “That’s absolutely ridiculous, I report fake accounts on here all the time but they never take them down so continue to let vulnerable people get scammed but beautiful holiday snaps are too violent is just incomprehensible!!”

Others took a bit more light-hearted approach to the peculiar situation, as Fraserknox9 wrote referring to the shirtless Gorka: “To be fair you may have put a few fans in hospital from overheating,” and Stellabird46 added: “Well those pecs could have someone’s eye out.”

Gemma, who announced earlier this year that they are expecting a baby boy in the summer, opened up on their holiday as she adjusts to the later stages of pregnancy.

She shared in a touching post as she ran around with Mia on the beach: “I bought some beach trousers to wear on this holiday, because even though I’m aware why it’s happening and how clever my body is, I’ve never been as swollen, bloated, uncomfortable in every day tasks and had as much cellulite in my life.

“I got to the beach on day one of this holiday, looked at Mia playing and I suddenly felt relaxed. It dawned on me if I kept them on that she’d ask why I’m in trousers and I thought about the negative effect it could have on her down the line me saying, ‘Because mummy’s legs and bum are a lot bigger than usual’. I don’t ever want her to feel like she should cover herself, especially on the beach!”
