He went on to launch the clothing company GMc and author 27 children's books.

In 2017, he was a finalist on the fifteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, paired with professional dancer Alexandra Burke.

Series 15 (2017)
On 21 August 2017, Márquez was announced as a contestant for the fifteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing. He was partnered with professional dancer Alexandra Burke, making it to the final, in which he was beaten by Joe McFadden. With Burke, Márquez holds the record for achieving the most tens in a single series with 32.

During the series, Márquez was highly praised by the judges and other professional dancers, being the highest marked couple in 7 of the show's thirteen weeks, including being the highest marked couple in the final with 119 points to eventual winner Joe McFadden's 118. In his first week, judge Bruno Tonioli noted his "natural artistry" whilst head judge Shirley Ballas remarked that he would likely be a frontrunner whilst in the second week, he received an standing ovation from all four judges. It was later remarked by Ballas that Márquez could be a professional dancer.

As an ensemble dancer (2018-2021)
In early 2018, Márquez joined Strictly: The Live Tour! alongside his fellow dancers from the 2017 series of the show. In mid-2018, it was confirmed that Márquez would host the show's official podcast. In his role, he began to attend dance rehearsals for the group dances of the professional dancers that aired each week. In rehearsal for the second show, the professional dancers were performing to "Believer" by Imagine Dragons. During a break, Márquez and AJ Pritchard began dancing a section of the performance which saw the other dancers stop and watch. With producers for the show watching on, he was invited to perform in the dance on the live show. It became the first same-sex dance in Strictly history. He made sporadic appearances in dances throughout the 2018 series of the show.

He returned to the live tour as its host in 2018, 2019 (co-hosted with Stacey Dooley) and 2022 (co-hosted with Janette Manrara). In May 2019, he joined Strictly: The Professionals Tour in 2019 as a dancer and host before embarking on a UK wide tour, Here Come The Boys with friends Giovanni Pernice and Aljaž Škorjanec. In 2020, Márquez and Karen Hauer were due to embark on the UK Firedance Tour which was cancelled after few dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pair went on to complete the tour after dates were postponed until 2022. He was forced to pull out of the Strictly Presents: Keeep Dancing tour in 2022 due to injury.

Series 20 (2022)
In September 2022, it was confirmed that Márquez would be leaving the official Strictly podcast but would be continuing as a dancer for the show's twentieth series. On the launch show on 23 September 2022, Márquez surprisingly received his first celebrity partner after four series as a member of the ensemble dance cast. After his partnership with TV presenter Helen Skelton was revealed, Márquez saw a public backlash for taking a professional dancer's place in the show.

Despite this, Márquez received high praise from the judges on the show for his choreography, scoring 26 points for the couple's American Smooth.
