The pair ended up joint bottom on the leader board on Saturday night, with Craig Revel-Horwood angering AJ by giving them just a five out of ten for the routine.

AJ and Saffron scored just 26 points in total on the night, alongside Alex Scott and her professional partner Neil Jones.

AJ said of the mark handed down by Craig: “Saffron deserved more than a five, that’s for sure.

“But it is what it is, obviously Strictly is an entertainment show.”
