Emotional night for YouTuber Saffron Barker and her nan - Week 4 | BBC Strictly 2019

[@BBC]

They scored two nines tonight. Were you moved by Saffron and AJ's touching tribute to her granny?

Sob story won’t work on strictly this isn’t X factor

[@jackmeddings1197]

It was so lovely to watch!

[@katieharvey1578]

watching her get upset over her nan really hit home for me i couldn’t live without my nannie, shes such a sweet girl and such a good role model for young kids really hope she goes far in this💛

[@averagewhovian]

Agreed xx

[@megan5529]

becibooable1 no, because people relate to the genuine love she has for her grandparents you emotionless human.

[@richardhodkinson6005]

SAME!!! 😭

[@milliex9335]

My amazing angel nan sadly isn't here anymore either. Have the most amazing memories with her♥️

[@emilycameron7447]

I love saff

Nans are the glue to a family

[@emilyshortland3125]

So true💛

[@izzy_s_8178]

In which case there is no glue in my family

[@Anonymous-ci3vu]

My nan hates my family lol

[@My_academicjourney]

Guess my family has no glue

[@lilliecave8856]

So true ❤️

[@amiegray6410]

Honestly think we forgot, this girl is 19 years of age and not only has she already accomplished so much in life, but every day she is an amazing role model to millions of people. Her entire family and all of her fans should be so proud ❤️

I lost my nan a year ago and every day my heart hurts, she was so generous and loving and she brought me up, this made me tear up so much, well done saffron and aj you were amazing

😥🙏😥💜🙏

[@zoeymcilwain3499]

I’m sorry 🙏🙏👼👼💔

[@itskindyl]

Same here. I’m full on crying while watching this. My nana was everything to me. It’s so hard without her here. I miss her so much and I’m sure you miss yours just as much. I’m sorry you had to go through this as well.

[@rosaguti7283]

That was a touching short story and I hope that you feel happier soon 😢

[@kaykaymumof386]

Same here hun. I’m an emotional wreck watching that. 😩

[@elliedaisy4995]

I love how close AJ is with Saffron’s family

[@aLiShikari]

This was far from a sob story, just a girl who adores her Nan. Nothing wrong with that

[@rugilex9631]

exactly and if the people who say “it’s a sob story just for the votes” actually watched her vlogs and everything through out the years you can tell how much she adores her nan so much

[@ddlsgrace9453]

Alyxthecrumpet! I agree

[@gracefam.kaylagracevlogs8138]

I agree so much and bless her nan

[@kingronaldo3314]

I agree bless her Nan she should be so proud of yourself

[@georgiawarrington3603]

I was ur 1k like

[@alicevictoria8463]

everyone saying this is a sob story - i genuinely don’t see it as that. if you actually looked into her life, you’d see how many vlogs her nan features in, and how much she clearly loves saffron. i’m not a fan of hers but she clearly loves her nan so much. i’ve lost two grandparents this year, and it was the hardest thing i’ve ever gone through. her nan should be so proud of her - i’d do anything to have mine back to see me doing everything i am now. they weren’t here when i got my gcse results, and they won’t see me get my a level results, go to uni, even get married. her nan has every right to be so proud of her, she should be enjoying the moments she has with saffron💗

[@sarahdeathe5501]

love this I lost my my nanna 17 years ago was taking my exams in college that day didn't find out till I got home still miss today not a day goes by without thinking about her she was only 68 saffys nan in her 90s every right to be proud x

[@frankiegreston7685]

She does have an amazing relationship with her man and this was a beautiful dance 💞

[@megan5529]

Alice Victoria its online old trolls or its young envious teens who are raging from saffron living an unproblematic dream on the show, pretty sure woman are supposed empower each other seems like nothing applies to saffron.

[@megan5529]

becibooable1 how many accounts have you created to say the same thing? Go away

[@andreabruce3435]

I was in tears watching this! 4 years ago I brought my wedding forward a year. My dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and they said he had 6 months. I was not doing it without my dad... within 3 months we manage to pull off an amazing day.. and I had a father/daughter dance too this song 'because you loved me'. Unfortunately my dad passed 18 days after my wedding. I will treasure that dance always!

[@XxxRachaelxxX]

I literally cried reading this im soo sorry for your lose , at least u got to dance to with him xx😢😇😘

[@michelewatson1505]

I am so sorry for your loss! It's great that you were able to get that amazing memory with your father to cherish for the rest of your life! ❤

[@ninaevex]

becibooable1 no thanks

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

She made her R Gran proud. Can’t believe a Strictly performance brought me to tears.

[@dominiqueread4223]

I was in literal tears for the whole thing. Sooo proud Saffy. We love you💛

[@nicole-ic4ox]

This dance was so beautiful. I love how she chose the song for her nan. The way she spoke about her nan is the same way I feel about mine. She made her nan and her whole family so proud.

[@sharms.k1976]

Honestly the hate she is receiving is pathetic. Seeing people say it’s a sob story and they found it cringe or she was dramatic, have no emotions. You can clearly see the song means something to her as well as her family and being on strictly is one of her biggest milestones, she has every right to be feeling emotional. Also if you actually followed her KZbin channel, you would know how close she is to her nan. I seriously don’t understand how one minute people are preaching about mental health and then the next minute, trolling. Hypocrites.

[@mollie6400]

she deserved the hate for rolling her eyes at a suicide because she couldn’t get home.

[@sharms.k1976]

Mollie If you go through the comments you’ll differentiate that the hate ain’t even for that video and is just complete jealousy of her success as of this moment.

@@mollie6400 I don't give a shit over what contestants do in private, that's up to them. For me it's a case of big deal.

Being someone who has lived with and been raised my Nan for my whole life I can see how proud saff wants to make her nan feel. I also can’t imagine life with out my Nan and I honestly and truly admire the relationship saffron has with her family I respect her dedication and determination she has with KZbin and her dancing. Don’t give up saffron!

when her nan cried i start crying. i feel saffron when she was crying because i’m like that with my nanny

[@sarahahmed5371]

Why am I crying

[@jessslife7348]

This means loads too me cuz my nan passed away when my mother was 15 so I didn't see her. Then her husband passed away 5 days before his 80th Christmas. Now my dads dad passed away aged 87. Then 2 weeks before his funeral his wife passed away. It's really hard because everyone is talking about their nans and grandads and I have nothing to say.

People who think this is a sob story... If you were a real fan, you’d know she’d do anything for her nan and the other way round.
