Saffron Barker: Strictly 2019 star in ‘absolute agony’ with crippling back pain


Strictly Come Dancing 2019 contestant Saffron Barker, 19, admitted to being in “absolute agony” on Instagram today.

The social media star, told her 1.3 million followers, that she has been suffering with back pain ever since her contemporary dance performance on Saturday night.

Saffron, who is partnered with professional dancer AJ Pritchard, 24, on the BBC ballroom dancing show, said the pain was so bad it was keeping her awake at night.

Sharing a picture on her Instagram Stories in the early hours of the morning following an appearance at the Best Heroes Awards, she wrote: “The pain in my back is just keeping me up all night.”

Saffron first revealed she was suffering with back pain during a chat with AJ on the social media site on Tuesday.

She told her followers: “Guys, I’m actually in so much pain, I really hurt my back on Saturday and we actually can’t get through it today”.

At the weekend, Saffron and AJ executed a very physical Couple’s Choice routine to her nan’s favourite Celine Dion track – Because You Loved me.

The couple made the romantic dance look effortless and earned an impressive score of 33 points – placing them fourth on the leaderboard.

This week, however, Saffron is struggling to learn her new routine as she is in so much pain.

To complicate matters further, their Foxtrot, to Theme from New York, New York by Frank Sinatra, will see the couple perform with props such as canes.

Earlier today, the YouTuber popped to the chemist to buy some products to help with her injury and asked her fans for advice.

Holding a box of Deep Heat in a social media snap, she said: “Got both but anyone know if heat pads or Deep Heat is better for my back? In absolute agony”.

Strictly Come Dancing continues on BBC One on Saturday at 6.40pm.
