Saffron Barker: Strictly star dons racy outfit for Global Gift Gala with AJ Pritchard


Strictly Come Dancing 2019 contestant Saffron Barker, 19, looked incredible when she attended the Global Gift Gala in London last night.

The social media star posed for pictures on the red carpet at the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel with her dance partner AJ Pritchard, 24, ahead of the glitzy event.

Saffron, who boasts 1.3 million followers in Instagram, donned a stylish black suit for the occasion and added a pop of colour to her ensemble with blue accessories.

Her chic blazer featured a plunging neckline which gave a glimpse of a see-through lacy top underneath.

Wearing her blonde tresses in curls, Saffron emphasised her good looks with glam evening make-up in bronze hues.

Her Strictly partner looked equally smart at the star-studded gala in a patterned red and black dinner jacket and black bow tie.

He told his 618,000 Instagram fans that it was “an honour to be supporting the The Global Gift Foundation”.

Posting a picture from the event with AJ and former Strictly star Katie Piper, 36, on her own Instagram account, Saffron wrote: “Global gift Gala tonight. What an honour to be here, such a incredible charity & I absolutely love @evalongoria x”.

Former Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, 44, is an Honorary Chair of the Global Gift Foundation which organises the charity event.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden was also at the London awards ceremony which presented accolades to her co-star Simon Cowell and singer Paloma Faith on the night.

Strictly star Saffron has had a difficult time in training for the dancing competition this week.

A painful back injury following her contemporary dance routing on Saturday night’s live show has meant the pair were forced to limit their rehearsal time in order to prevent further injury.

Reassuring her fans that she has not given up, the YouTuber took to her Instagram Stories to say: “You’ve probably all seen that I’ve got injury with my back!”

“My rib has twisted and therefore all my muscles are having spasms however we’re still going and I’m feeling so much better than day one & two! Wouldn’t give up for anything!!”
