During his chat on The One Show, AJ’s brother Curtis was asked who he thinks would work well with his brother in the competition, to which he replied with Saffron.

Later on in the chat, Emma Willis asked AJ if he is competitive when it comes to the show.

He replied: “I’ve been in semi final three years in a row. As they say fourth year's a charm. Straight to the final. I’ve got so many show ideas but its never happened for me just yet.

"I think Saffron...we can make it to the final. There it is. I’ve thrown it out there."

Viewers took to Twitter to share their observations, with one writing: “Why is AJ talking like he’s got Saffron and they’re gonna win?? Have I missed something?”

Another added: “AJ just said him and Saffron can make it to the final on the One Show and I am confused.”

Of course, we’ll have to wait until the launch of this years Strictly Come Dancing to know for sure who is teamed up with who.
