That piece of hair was holding on for dear life.

😂😂😂

[@olivia2006]

I was like nooooo carry on Saffron lol😂😂❤

[@thebatman4279]

I dont know about her lips but her forehead certainly isnt moving with that tight ass hairstyle.

[@megan5529]

Harvey Weinstein Ejaculated On Me lol she didn't get anything done Harvey, but nice try

[@alexiyahxoxo1377]

Saffron hasn’t had her lips done she’s never had anything like that done she’s got natural beauty it’s funny how you think you can accuse someone of having things done when you don’t fukin know them

[@elleZebub]

She danced that really well but my god what is that song choice? Some couples really get done dirty by the music they're given. This was one of the best opening shows in strictly history.

[@ellensmith2722]

Elle Gray they chose the song thy didn’t get given it

[@themadthatter]

@@ellensmith2722 the professionals get a limited selection of songs to choose from.

[@elleZebub]

@@themadthatter really? Well I wonder why AJ picked that then coz it really doesn't suit a tango

[@themadthatter]

@@elleZebub For all we know, the other options were worse. I mean, this is the show that made someone do a tango to Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran...

[@elleZebub]

@@themadthatter they must have been, thats why I said some couples get done dirty. She still danced very well though!

[@fatumatasheriff3424]

Who else was triggered by that one piece of hair stuck to her head the whole time ( loved the dance though)

[@hanogami]

Fatumata Sheriff Ik it so was so annoying sadly she can’t move it but the dance was amazing

[@DollyLocksable]

nah but i was triggered by her being called a "celebrity" LOL

[@alisuradesigns9969]

NatW well she has a million subs

[@DollyLocksable]

@@alisuradesigns9969 and subscribers mean celebrity? they're really throwing that word around a lot!

[@smellmycoffee]

@@DollyLocksable How do you define a celebrity? I haven't a clue who all the soap actors are but it doesn't mean they aren't celebs. To put it in perspective, Saffron gets up to half a million views each day, always at least a couple hundred thousand and often much more.

[@chrisdraw-ster6146]

For a week 1 dance I thought she did rather well :)

[@sofiaattique5048]

She didnt just fo well she was epic.

[@hollysime7569]

Chris Draw-ster Especially cause she hasn’t danced for a while!! I thought it was amazing!!🤩

[@brooklyncherry8785]

It was amazing!! usually everyone’s is good week 1, that’s how you know if they’ll go far. If they’re not as good then you know they won’t last as for dance1, they get weeks and weeks of practice unlike next week.

[@hollyeustace255]

Ngl who else thought a song like senorita would be so much better x

[@isabellegaynor7155]

Holly Eustace yes I thought that to

[@megan5529]

The most underrrated dance of the night, from the public.. the fact that she's a social media star and apparently has a "fake exterior" really took away from the choreography and how insync she was with AJ. Her footwork was phenomenal for week 1 and twitter for one completely ignored that aspect of her dancing. Her body contact with AJ was again underrated as it's rather difficult and gapping is always an issue with ballroom dances. She was my favourite of the night and AJ did wonders with that god awful non tango song.

[@soniawokeuplikethis]

I 100% agree!!! They deserved more than a 27! It was smashing for week one!

[@megan5529]

Sonya R the likes of wiggling the arse distracted the shallow public.. they had a simple tango routine to a rather anti climactic pop song but they still shone so well. Her hold is amazing I think she's going to nail the other ballroom dances she is so good.. I hope AJ keeps up the choreography.

[@soniawokeuplikethis]

@@megan5529 You're so right, on point observation! I really do feel AJ is crazy motivated this year and he won't rest till they make it to the finals, hopefully the judges and the audience allow them a fair run!

[@megan5529]

I feel so bad for her as the public have already made up their dinosour aged mind before she's even took a breath. I hope her fans vote for her like they did joe, I would love to see her do all the dances.

[@SaffronBarkerVlogs]

Thankyou so much ❤️

[@shreyatanna9099]

I was soooo impressed with this, I didn't expect Saffy to be this good 💕💕

[@Bethhhf]

So proud, she was a lot better than last week and improved so much since the group dance. Amazing, especially for week 1 🥰👏🏻 Darren crying at the end was so adorable 🥺

[@sq.1xz]

The way saffron quickly moved that piece of hair before she faced the audience.

[@MollyThompsonx_]

This is INSANE big up team internet🙏😭

[@CrazyFai]

Yesss!

[@Emma-ie4dx]

Brilliant performance, tango isn’t an easy one to start with and it was difficult choreography so I think saffron was incredible!

[@kingnidge9541]

You smashed it saffron!!!!! I will be definitly be voting for saff and Aj!!!😎😎😎😀😀😆

[@livvjanee]

I completely get what Craig was saying about the paso aspects but still doesn't change the fact that this was the best dance of the night! I know who I'll be voting for!

[@SaffronBarkerVlogs]

Liv Jane thanku!!!❤️

[@ss1673]

Saffron really shocked me she wasn't bad at all and tango is super hard

[@legaleagle46]

A little underscored, if you ask me. I thought it was a sharp, crisp routine, and there was a ton of chemistry. I would have given it an 8.

[@fizaasghar1107]

I didn’t watch the beginning Cos I was staring at that price of hair

[@kourtneyx44]

Fiza Asghar 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ same

[@debbierawson6583]

Dear Saffron you were amazing doing the tango keep it up my daughter and I will definitely be voting for you next week XX💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@scattygirl1]

First time I've ever found an AJ dance memorable. Really liked it, and it would have been even more amazing and fierce done to trad tango music.

[@tulip-hs3qn]

You didn't find his Salsa, Charleston, Quickstep with Claudia memorable? Plenty of people have them down as their favourite dances of all time!

[@tulip-hs3qn]

And to add, his rumba, paso and AT with Claudia wouldnt go into the bland category either. Neither would his VW and Quickstep with Mollie, or his VW with Lauren either. More impressive when you consider not one of his partners have had dance experience

[@alexospertie]

His and Claudia’s Charleston was one of the best I’ve ever seen on this show!!!

[@mickybooth2413]

performed brilliantly, very excited to see her future performances💖

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Her enthusiasm and energy was absolutely fantastic. She came alive at 0:57 in my opinion. Her footwork was superb. Her posture was wonderful and her head movements were great. I loved the bit out of hold even though it is technically breaking the rules but I thought it was sticatto, slick and feirce. One of the best females in my opinion. A very good first dance, Saffron has so much potential. Great turns and promenade kicks. *7/10*

[@paulaa3435]

She did really well and I can't wait to see her get better and better. 😊 I feel sorry for her because a lot of people are just looking for a reason to put her down since she's a social media star and they get "annoyed by her fans". I wish the song was different...

[@tulip-hs3qn]

Yes, they keep going on about how fans will vote nomatter how she dances. As if people who like Catherine because of Coronation Street aren't voting for her cos they like her and not how she dances. Whats more unfair is that the majority of the public won't vote for her even if she dances amazingly because they don't like youtubers etc. Even if she pulled the best dance of the night off, they wouldn't vote for her so they should stop pretending it should be all about the dance.

[@paulaa3435]

@@tulip-hs3qn Exactly. If it was only about the dance, then I'm sure a lot of celebrities, e.g., Ann Widdecombe, would have been eliminated first. People vote for celebrities they like and those that make them laugh, that's nothing new...
