Strictly's AJ Pritchard 'dating stunning dancer he fell for at first sight'

Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard has been struck by cupid's arrow after falling for stunning dancer Abbie Quinnen 'on first sight'.

The 24-year-old professional dancer has proved to be a 'ladies man' after a string of high-profile romances, including a fling with Love Island presenter Caroline Flack, who previously won the Glitterball Trophy on Strictly.

While 39-year-old Caroline looks to cook up a romance with rugby star Danny Cipriani, AJ has fallen for a dancer that auditioned for his Get On The Floor Live Tour.

Abbie, who is 23, is a dancer who trained at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and has a starring performance in West End smash musical cats on her CV.
