AJ Pritchard spotted for first time since Strictly exit as he heads to the shops with girlfriend Abbie Quinnen
DANCER AJ Pritchard was spotted for the first time since his Strictly exit — stepping out to the shops yesterday with girlfriend Abbie Quinnen.
AJ, 25, picked up some healthy peppers and other provisions.
The star, who hopes to be a presenter with brother Curtis, 24, then headed home in Whitchurch, Shrops, to cook with Abbie, 23.
The couple, who have been dating since meeting on AJ’s tour in 2018, spent some time in a local supermarket, before heading back into isolation together.
Speaking about his departure from Strictly Come Dancing, AJ told television presenter Lorraine, 60: “I’ve had four fantastic years, it’s the best show on telly.
“I will definitely miss the first day.”
The Sun told how AJ, who quit Strictly last month, is in big-money talks with I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! producers to jet out to Australia this autumn.
A TV source said: “He is desperate to show his personality and that he is strong in other ways, he’d love to throw himself into Bushtucker Trials.
“Bosses think he would be a great addition to the cast and it always helps to secure a heartthrob as it draws in much-needed younger viewers.”
