STRICTLY pro dancer AJ Pritchard appeared to be in tears as he left the filming of spin-off show It Takes Two tonight.
The 24-year-old star looked devastated in the back of the car, being seen clutching his face as he sat alongside YouTube star partner Saffron Barker.
Another picture shows him covering his face with one hand as they sped away from the dance hit’s studios after the show.
He also appeared to have moist cheeks as he turned in his seat behind the driver.
However, 20-year-old Saffron, who was sitting alongside him, didn’t seem nearly as bothered, being seen smiling as they left with her handbag between them.
It was a stark contrast to Sunday night’s episode of Strictly, when the pair celebrated making it through to next week’s show.
Saffron and AJ appeared on It Takes Two tonight with co-stars Dev Griffin and dance partner Dianne Griffin and Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse and Michelle Visage and Giovanni Pernice.
Speaking to host Rylan Clark-Neal, AJ paid tribute to his partner, saying: “She wants to know what to improve. It’s unbelievable how far you’ve come from day one. You just attack it and I love it in the studio.”
Rylan, 30, joked: “You wouldn’t believe they don’t even like each other in real life, it’s crazy.”
The pair scored an impressive 33 on Saturday night – including nines from Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli.
Following the performance of Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion, Saffron rushed into the audience to hug her grandmother Ivy, whose favourite song it is.
Head judge Shirley, 59, told her: “You created beautiful memories for millions of people out there, you executed it for your nanny.“
Every core of your body was into balancing, there really was a strong connection.”
