SAFFRON BARKER ANNOUNCES SPLIT FROM BOYFRIEND JOSH MILN

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Saffron Barker announced that she has split from her boyfriend Josh Miln after two years together. Barker, a YouTuber with over two million subscribers, disclosed the breakup in a video posted to her YouTube channel on Wednesday. She stated that the relationship ended shortly after she moved to New York to enrol in drama school nearly six weeks ago. Barker said the couple had lived together throughout their relationship and described the split as "very fresh" and "very new".

Barker initially moved to Dubai to be with Miln when they first began their relationship. The pair had regularly appeared together on Barker's social media pages and in her YouTube videos. In her announcement, Barker acknowledged becoming emotional whilst discussing the breakup, saying she had "cried way too much already". She told her audience that the experience had taught her to focus on self-love and doing things that make her happy.

Barker competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, where she was paired with professional dancer AJ Pritchard and reached the tenth week of the competition. She has since appeared on various television programmes including The Celebrity Circle, Celebrity Hunted and The Real Dirty Dancing. Miln has not yet made a public statement regarding the split. Barker concluded her announcement by thanking her fans for their support.
