Mollie King slept through three alarms and missed her appearance on ‘Lorraine’.
The Saturdays singer was meant to appear on the early-morning breakfast show with her ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ partner AJ Pritchard on Wednesday (15.11.17) to discuss their forthcoming performance at Blackpool Tower, but the schedule had to be jiggled around as she failed to wake up and didn’t make it to the studio in time for her slot.
The show’s host Lorraine Kelly explained as she spoke with AJ: "He’s without Mollie because she slept through three alarms because she was so exhausted."
AJ, 23, added: "I can feel my phone buzzing in my pocket – that’s probably her now."
The 30-year-old blonde beauty eventually made it to the studio and apologised profusely to Lorraine and her viewers as her interview had to take place an hour later.
She said: "I am so sorry. I slept through everything – he’s training me too hard."
Lorraine asked what time she got up and Mollie replied: "About 45 minutes ago… "
Mollie and AJ have sparked rumours that a romance may be bubbling between them behind closed doors, but the singer is adamant they’re just friends at the moment.
She said recently: "I am single. There’s always going to be rumours on Strictly, that’s inevitable. We have to be so comfortable with each other because we spend so much time together. AJ and I are physically very close all day and that’s such a huge part of the dancing. We don’t even think about it. We’re really close friends now."
However, although she’s not interested in pursuing the choreographer, Mollie would like to settle down and find "Mr. Right" one day.
She said: "I don’t feel like I need somebody, but I obviously would love somebody. I love being in love. I literally love being in love. I’m so romantic. I’m such a girly girl."
