YOUTUBER Saffron barker has address dating rumours ahead of her Strictly Come Dancing stint.
Saffron, 19, and AJ, 24, could be the new "will they, won’t they" pairing, as head judge Shirley Ballas said: “They already had a little chemistry, so that’s great.”
In an interview with OK! magazine, however, the internet sensation from Rottingdean addressed dating rumours surrounding her and her new dance partner.
She said: “I just haven’t thought about romance since signing up for the show.
"Yes, I’m single, but I’m on the show to learn a new skill and have the experience of a lifetime.
"I’m so focused on learning to dance, I don’t think I have the time for a relationship,” she added.
AJ Pritchard is currently dating Abbie Quinnen, 23, who is a dancing and performing art student at the Urdang Academy London.
Saffron did, however, admit that she was “over the moon” with being partnered with AJ and said they “get on really well.”
“[I was] totally over the moon, I think you can tell by my reaction on the show how happy I was!
“He is such a talented dancer and a lovely person so I’m on top of the world.
"Height-wise he is a great fit for me, too.”
The show returns next Saturday.
