Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard will be "heartbroken" when his time with Mollie King comes to an end.
The popular ballroom and latin competition is set to wrap up in two weeks’ time when the winning pair will be handed their iconic glitterball trophy but the 23-year-old professional dancer has admitted he’ll be devastated that he’ll no longer be about to train with the Saturdays singer every day.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: "We will be friends for life, 100 per cent. She has been an amazing partner. We have so much fun in the training room, we don’t ever want that to end.
"I’ll definitely be heartbroken at the end of this because it’s such a fantastic year and it’s all going so well. I wouldn’t change a thing. We feel the same way and you’ll see that this week because she gives me a very heartfelt gift. It is something I will cherish."
Throughout the competition, Mollie and AJ have been romantically linked due to their on-screen chemistry but they’re both adamant they’re "just friends" at the moment.
The 30-year-old singer said recently: "No we are not together, promise! We get on so well. I think that’s maybe that’s why there are these rumours. We are literally like best friends. We spend so much time together. We’re training 12 hours a day and I still love spending every minute with him. It’s mad that you’re not sick of each other! With ‘Strictly…’, they always like to think there’s a romance. Because we are both single, everyone loves a love story. We are loving the show so much. It’s the most incredible experience."
