AJ Pritchard has dropped a huge hint he will be partnered up with Saffron Barker on this year’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 24-year-old pro dancer appeared to let slip he and the YouTube star could well be teaming up for the upcoming series, and admitted he is confident they can reach the final if they are a coupling.
He said: "I’ve been in semi final three years in a row. As they say fourth year’s a charm. Straight to the final.
"I’ve got so many show ideas but it’s never happened for me just yet.
"I think Saffron … we can make it to the final. There it is. I’ve thrown it out there."
AJ’s brother and fellow pro dancer Curtis Pritchard – who was a contestant on this year’s ‘Love Island’ – also backed his sibling to team up with Saffron this year.
Speaking in a joint interview on ‘The One Show’, he said: "I think he’d be fantastically suited.
"Height is an important thing. Obviously if you’re doing ballroom you don’t want a woman who is a lot taller than you."
Saffron recently admitted she is feeling "nervous" about her ‘Strictly’ debut after falling over in rehearsals for the show’s launch.
She said: "I’m so nervous, I’ve had butterflies all day, I can’t stop going to the toilet, but I’m just embracing every moment.
"I can’t believe that I’m here. I feel like I’m in a bubble. It’s day one, but I already know I don’t want it to end."
Speaking about the tumble, she added: "I was the only person to fall over in the group choreography number.
"Like flat on my face – it was so embarrassing, I was bright red. So I’m just hoping I don’t redo that."
