Gorka has shown his support for the pairing though by sharing a series of clapping hand emojis beneath the announcement.
During the final over the weekend, fans think they spotted looking ‘fuming’ as he missed out to Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal.
This is now the third time Gorka has failed to hold the glitterball trophy after making it to the final.
Spotting his reaction at the time, one fan commented: “Gorka can’t hide his feelings at all 
… I feel you hun #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing.”
Another wrote: “gorka looks like he’s about to whack someone 
how about celebrating your friends?! #Strictly.”
Gorka later praised Hamza’s win and hinted he would be back for another series of the show.
He wrote: “The biggest THANK YOU, because without you we wouldn’t be here and your lovely messages of support means the world. Strictly 23 lets go!!! In the mean time Keep dancing!!”
Meanwhile the tour will also see Hits Radio host Fleur East, 35, reunite with Vito Coppola after their high-scoring partnership this series.
Winners Hamza and Jowita are taking part and will join Will Mellor and Nancy Xu, Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin, and Tyler West and Dianne Buswell on the dance floor.
Judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke, who is part of the tour for the first time, will be joined by Janette Manrara as host.
The live show visits venues including Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena, Leeds’s First Direct Arena, the AO Arena in Manchester and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena.
The dancers will also stop at London’s O2 Arena and the SSE Arena in Belfast, before ending at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on February 12.
