AJ Pritchard: ‘If looks could kill’ Lauren Steadman scowls as star cosies up to pro dancer

AJ Pritchard, 24, uploaded a backstage snap with Lauren Steadman, 26, after their Jive to song Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield yesterday.

The Paralympian didn’t seem happy in the photo as she stood away from the professional dancer with her arms crossed and, seemingly, a very angry expression.

He could be seen sticking out his tongue to the camera with a cheeky look whilst fellow professional Nadiya Bychkova smiled and winked as she snuggled up to him.

The Strictly Come Dancing star’s poses were all in jest as they appeared to be sticking with the song’s theme where a girl steals a boy away from his girlfriend.

The professional dancer captioned the hilarious photo: “If looks could kill!! @laurensteadmann #girlpower #avrillavigne.”

AJ’s 356,000 followers complimented Lauren in the comment section with one person writing: “Lauren pulls the best faces.”

Another said: “Lauren does look beautiful even with a scowl x.”

“All looking incredible,” a third added.

AJ also shared a happier photo of himself with Lauren plus the rest of the dancers who joined in on their Jive routine including Luba Mushtuk and Amy Dowden.

The pair reunited on the Strictly Come Dancing Live! tour after reaching the semi-final of the series in December.

Whilst on the show, the two described themselves as a “married couple” and it seems not much has changed on the tour.

AJ and Lauren admitted they haven’t stopped “bickering” since they got back together to perform up and down the country.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk at the Strictly Come Dancing Live! tour launch, she spilled about their relationship and said: “We don’t really argue, it’s more bickering.”

AJ revealed they have been “bickering” due to Lauren giving him strict advice.

Divulging details, he said: “She makes sure I don’t have too many desserts, makes sure I’m cutting the sugar out of my tea.

“She’s trying to keep me healthy…”

Lauren interrupted: “You wanted to look lean and fit so I was helping!”

Despite their small disagreements, AJ revealed he was planning on visiting the Paralympian when she jets off to Lanzarote for training this summer.

He spilled: “Great thing is, she’s training in Lanzarote for eight weeks so I thought I can fit a holiday in there.”

AJ quickly added: “I’m not going to train with her though! It will be relaxing.”

Strictly Come Dancing Live! tour concludes at London’s 02 Arena on February 10.
