Abbie, who is a dancer herself, has now spoken out about how she felt hearing about it at the time.
In a new interview, she divulged it was “strange” when asked about adjusting to his fame: “Particularly during the last series of Strictly as lots of people were romanticising the idea of Saffron and AJ as a couple or saying how cute it would be for them to get together.
“Saffron was lovely, and I felt comfortable in our relationship, but it was still not nice to hear.”
During their chat with this week’s OK! Magazine, AJ chipped in and said: “I always tell Abbie not to listen to any negative comments.”
