AJ Pritchard's girlfriend says death threats from his fans leave her 'terrified'

AJ Pritchard's girlfriend Abbie Quinnen has revealed the death threats she has received from his obsessed fans have left her "terrified".

The dancer has said she has been getting more hate than ever since her ballroom dancer partner entered I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

Abbie, 23, told The Mirror: "Because he is in the public eye and with everyone watching I’m a Celebrity, there is definitely more abuse.

“Everyone loves AJ and wants him to be THEIR boyfriend.

“I find it so hard reading the comments I get on social media. AJ has been very supportive and tells me not to read it. I try to keep really positive as I know how much happiness he brings to lots of people which makes me really happy”.

She added about the disgusting death threats: "It's crazy that some people have this streak in them and they want to ruin people's lives."

The couple have been together since May 2018.

His mum recently hit out at rumours her son is gay and admitted AJ and Abbie are "made for each other".

She told The Sun: "I can tell you, my AJ is 100 per cent not gay.

"Abbie is wonderful and allows people to be who they are and is a gorgeous talented lady.

"As things stand at the minute Abbie and AJ are very well suited, they get on extremely well together. Getting on well is an understatement - at this moment in time Abbie and AJ are for each other forever."

It appears Abbie is rooting for her boyfriend while watching this year's show from her home.

And it seems AJ is a fan favourite on the reality series as he has a whole army of fans watching him on the TV show.

*I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
