The Circle: Millionaire Saffron Barker's jaw-dropping home and famous ex boyfriend

Saffron Barker horrified an entire generation by not knowing who Denise Van Outen and Duncan James from boyband Blue were when the Celebrity Circle launched on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old YouTuber from Brighton admitted she had 'no clue' who the showbiz legends were when she joined the Channel 4 show, although she did humbly admit the feeling was probably mutual.

If you're not one of Saffron's 8.5million YouTube followers then you might recognise the star from Strictly Come Dancing 2019.

She lives the kind of lifestyle most twenty-somethings can only dream of and regularly flaunts her glamorous lifestyle and plush home on her social media accounts.

According to reports, Saffron bought her own place after netting £1million on the back of her YouTube success.

And the styling is seriously sophisticated, with the pad featuring a stunning dressing room, an Instagram-ready bathroom and a gorgeous bedroom decorated in neutral shades.

Outside of lockdown, she enjoys a jet-setting lifestyle, visiting Los Angeles, Ibiza and Miami, to meet other influencers and film content for her highly popular channel.

Saffron rakes in an average of 15million views a month on her YouTube channels and has over four million followers on social media.

The star, who first shot to fame after appearing in girl band Born2Blush, even has her own clothing line at Primark and was a Sunday Times bestseller when her book Saffron Barker Vs Real Life reached number one in 2017.

But while lockdown forced her to hit pause on her travels, it did help her meet new boyfriend Tyler Dixon.

She told new! magazine: "I started speaking to him online. I know it's cringe, but it was cute - we used to have dates over the phone because it was the only way we could."

She added: "We'd order a takeaway at the same time, or watch the same movie. We'd do quiz nights together. I remember saying to my mum, 'I genuinely feel like I miss him,' and I'd never even met him."

She said: "If it wasn't for lockdown, we probably wouldn't have spoken because I was so busy. I was literally hotel-hopping every single day, and I probably wouldn't have followed him."

The pair even jetted off to Santorini last summer for their first getaway together.

But before Tyler, Saffron had a very famous boyfriend in the form of fellow YouTuber, Jake Mitchell.

They dated for a year back in 2016 and even had their own adorable nickname - Jaffron, before they parted ways amid claims his head had been turned by another YouTuber, Claudia Naya.

Saffron has also been linked with YouTube sensation, Joe Weller, and Elliot Crawford after they appeared in each other's videos.

But the pair both claimed they were simply good friends.

*The Celebrity Circle continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 4
