During an emotional chat with Amy Childs and Jordan Brook as Towie returned to TV last night, Saffron admitted she had hoped for more by the time she reached the milestone.

She started:  “Like we’re sitting in the Dominican and I am thinking, ‘yeah it’s lovely’ but…”

Amy replied: “Yeah you’re 30, look at me I’m 32, single mum, single mum on my own.”

Saffron continued: “I expected a lot more from myself. I can’t sit here and kid you and go ‘do you know what it’s alright’ because it aint’ alright for me.

“I think it’s more that 30 comes with a lot of expectations.”

Jordan told her: “We don’t expect nothing from you apart from being Saff, and Saff is best.

“You’re an amazing girl with the f**king best personality of any of the girls I know, you will meet someone…”

Saffron revealed: “That’s another thing, I have been talking to someone which is lovely, because I have enjoyed things in the past and it’s gone not great I’ve held back from it. I think maybe I’m just putting pressure on myself and the age things thrown me.”

Taking to Twitter to discuss her age, one person said: “Ngl I thought Saffron was older than 30 #TOWIE.”

A second said: “I’m telling you I could’ve sworn saffron was older than 30 the girls so mature compared to the way the rest of the towie girls act #towie.”

While a third wrote: “Genuinely thought Saffron was like 40 #TOWIE.”
