Strictly's Gorka Márquez transforms into Barbie's Ken to tease Movies Week
Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Márquez has transformed into Barbie character Ken ahead of Movies Week on the show – and he looks uncanny.
The show's third live show this weekend will be taking viewers to Hollywood, with routines set to films such as Encanto, Grease and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Strictly has now shared a behind-the-scenes clip of the show's male dancers dressed up as various Kens from the recent blockbuster movie, with Gorka in a brilliant Ryan Gosling get-up as he lip syncs to hit song 'I'm Just Ken'.

"Movie Week is right around the corner and we can’t get Kenough of it," a caption reads, before teasing a Barbie-centric routine for Sunday night's (October 8) episode.
"This Sunday’s Results show sees our Pros bring Barbie to the Ballroom #Strictly," it adds.
Last weekend's show saw this series' first elimination, with Les Dennis and dance partner Nancy Xu becoming the first couple to say goodbye to the ballroom.

Speaking on It Takes Two this week, Les said he had no regrets about his time on the show, admitting: "That’s how I felt because when it’s over, it’s over.
"And you do look back and go 'I should have given that a bit of a better shot.' So I just had fun and I’m sorry [to Nancy] that your journey has ended so early."
Reflecting on his final dance, the presenter added: "It was amazing and I loved that Shirley said, 'If I could give you a ten for entertainment, I would.' That’s what I’m there for. I’m not the best dancer clearly. But I did my best and I had a great time."
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays and Sundays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Tickets for Strictly's 2024 live arena tour are available now.
