Why Saffron is still single
No Strictly love for vlogger
SINGLE Saffron Barker says there’s no way y she’ll be joining the long list l of Strictly romances – as she’s far too busy.
The show’s been respon responsible for 12 relationships so far, but this year’s series has been, Strictly professional.
Whi While last year brought us three new couples – Kevin Clifton/stacey Dooley, Joe Sugg/ Dianne Buswell and Giovanni Pernice/ Ashley Roberts Roberts, so far there hasn’t been a sniff of love in the air this time around.
And Saffron is adamant she won’t be the one to chan change that.
“I don’t have time,” said 19- year-old Youtube st star when asked if she’d gained a any male admirers while on the s show. I’m devoting all my t time on Strictly. I dance all day.” Keen to avoid falling into the bottom two again this week, Saff’s been puttin in 11hour training session with her how partner AJ Pritchard, 25. But all that work has come at a physical cost.
“We had to finish early because
Saffron’s legs were in that much pain,” AJ said. Their close relationship has some speculating they’re more than friends – but Saffron and AJ, who is dating dancer Abbie Quinnen, insist that’s not the case.
Performing the samba to Katrina And The Waves hit Walking On Sunshine last night, Saffron was desperate not to be in the dance-off again.
She narrowly avoided the boot in Blackpool last weekend, with the judges choosing to send Michelle Visage home instead.
“It was really emotional for us because we were absolutely gutted,” Saffron said.
Burglars
“I am so grateful Shirley saved us and we have been working as hard as is physically and mentally possible. Dancing has completely become my life.”
Saffron says Strictly provided a welcome escape this week after her family home was targeted by burglars. They broke into her Brighton home in a 3am raid.
The social media star, who lives with her parents and three brothers, had three cars and several designer handbags stolen in the raid.
“Me and my family are just so grateful we are all safe. That’s the most important thing. I’m so busy. I’m dancing all the time and that’s keeping my mind off it.
“The support from everyone has really definitely got us through.”
