Strictly Come Dancing Results Show Sees Saffron Barker Leave The Competition

When asked by host Tess Daly about her time on the show, Saffron said: “I’ve had the absolute time of my life and it’s all down to him. It’s been amazing. 

“I’d like to thank AJ so much, when I look at what I was like on week one I was so embarrassed and shy. He’s really taken me out of my shell. Thank you so much for everything.”

AJ added: “Every single week you’ve approached it with a positive mental attitude and you’ve inspired so many… on your own social media too. 

“As a non-dancer starting from day one I’m not going to lie, I was a bit scared, but performing those fantastic dances has been amazing. I’ll never ever ever forget that dance. Thank you. The best partner. Thank you. ”

The five remaining couples will take to the dancefloor next week when Strictly returns to BBC One for a musicals special.
