Police end probe into 'assault' on Strictly's Gorka Marquez in Blackpool

Police have closed an investigation into a reported "assault" on Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez.

The professional dancer was said to have been beaten up by a gang of youths on a street in Blackpool just hours after he took part in the BBC1 live show last month

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We have carried out a proportionate investigation which is now closed. No arrests have been made.

"We have never received a complaint from the victim and any injuries sustained would seem to be of a minor nature.

"We will always take reports of crime seriously and would urge anyone who has been a victim to come forward so they can assist us in our inquiries."
