For many couples, lockdown proved to be a stressful time. But for former Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard and his girlfriend Abbie Quinnen, it only brought them closer as they quarantined at AJ’s family home in Cheshire with his brother Curtis and his parents Debi and Adrian.

AJ says, “For about 16 weeks we were together 24/7 but every day was just so relaxed and so easy.”

And with some restrictions easing, the couple enjoyed a well-earned break to Turkey to soak up some sunshine, offering OK! a peek inside their romantic getaway.

AJ, 25, started dating fellow dancer Abbie, 23, after meeting on his Get On The Floor live tour. But Abbie admits she struggled to adjust to AJ’s fame at first and found his last series of Strictly in 2019 a real challenge due to speculation over his friendship with dance partner and YouTuber Saffron Barker.

AJ announced he had quit the show earlier this year and the couple are now looking ahead to the future, hinting it won’t be long before they walk down the aisle. AJ says, “We’re like that couple who see a movie or something about weddings on Instagram, then talk about whether we’d want it at ours.”

Here, the pair open up about the future, dealing with the downside of fame and fans sliding into their DMs…

How was your holiday?
