Saffron Barker has revealed she knew AJ Pritchard was quitting Strictly Come Dancing before his shock announcement.The 19 year old competed on the hit BBC show with AJ, 25, last year — which turned out to be his final series as part of the show.
But while the nation — and his co-stars — were left shocked by the announcement, social media sensation Saffron knew he was stepping down.
Speaking exclusively to OK! online, Saffron said: "I actually knew he was going before he announced it, he had already told me. "Obviously when I watch the show this year it's going to be really weird not seeing AJ, that's going to make me so sad but at the same time I'm really, really happy for him.
