Strictly's AJ and Saffron squirm as they are forced to respond to romp rumours

AJ Pritchard and Saffron Barker were left squirming during an incredibly awkward interview on Good Morning Britain today as they were forced to respond to romp rumours.

The pair are the first couple to be accused of succumbing to the 'Strictly curse' after they were pictured looking very cosy together after training.

Their sexy Cha cha cha at the weekend further stoked the rumour fire as they looked close to kissing at the end of their performance.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, they were confronted by a disgruntled Piers Morgan who rudely asked Saffron: "Who are you?"

Taken aback, Saffron replied that she was a 19-year-old YouTuber, to which Piers asked what a YouTuber was.

He then questioned: "Is it a talent?"

Saffron diplomatically said that she had to work hard for her job.

Piers suddenly asked the pair: "Are you two at it like all of the strictly couples? Come on, don't tell me you haven't tried."

The pair looked at each other and laughed awkwardly, but when they didn't respond, Piers probed: "Did you or not?"

Saffron and AJ replied in sync: "No."

Piers laughed, with Susanna Reid exclaiming: "Perfectly in sync!"

They were then asked whether they had partners and AJ said he had a girlfriend.

Piers asked: "And how does she feel about you dancing with a hot blonde?"

"She is a hot blonde also so I am very happy," AJ insisted.

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
