Strictly star Saffron Barker is backing Scot Paige Turley for Love Island glory.
YouTuber Saffron is in Aberdeen for the live Strictly tour and comes to Glasgow’s SSE Hydro this weekend.
Speaking about Love Island, she said “I think Connaugh is beautiful and Callum looks good, too. I’m not going to lie – I like Paige though, I really like Paige. I’ve liked Paige from day dot. No one likes Paige. I loved her from the minute she came in.”
Saffron reckons that the West Lothian singer, 22, has a bad reception because of her constant name-dropping.
She added: “I feel like, just because she’s Lewis Capaldi’s ex, that nobody liked her. But the thing is it’s a producer show and she’s going to get told that she has to say that 1000 times.
"I really like her as well. Paige is so chilled and she has personality.”
Saffron’s co-stars have been loving their time in Aberdeen.
Dancer Neil Jones and judge Craig Revel Horwood donned kilts for their first night. Neil said “I have a surprise costume for you Aberdeen” as fans teased if he was a true Scotsman.
Katya Jones toured local attractions and said: “Aberdeen is gorgeous.”
Cath Tyldesley enjoyed a breakfast fry-up ahead of her performances yesterday and said: “I’m loving Aberdeen.”
Promising a show full of sparkle, she added: “We want you to cheer your socks off. Come on Aberdeen, don’t let us down. Your auntie Cath loves you.”
Dancer AJ Pritchard also embraced the city but as he sang along to the tune of Summer Holiday, he admitted he was going to feel cold with mercury at -3.
