Saffron Barker, star of Strictly Come Dancing and The Real Dirt Dancing, has reached out to her fans for help after her shoulder “popped out” leaving a “literal hole” in her foot

Strictly Come Dancing alum Saffron Barker has revealed that she has a “literal hole in her [her] Foot”, the 21-year-old even shared a picture of the “rough” injury when she asked the fans for advice on how to proceed.

The YouTuber, who currently stars in E4’s The Real Dirty Dancing, opened up about her current condition.

She wrote: “Any advice would be appreciated! My shoulder has popped and snapped a few times now and it hurts when I lift my arm etc.

“I’m trying to give him rest and get an appointment to see someone but I can’t really understand why it’s happening and what I can do to prevent it.”

Saffron then warned her followers as she told them: “Aside from my arm/shoulder I can’t run or do any cardio either right now because I literally have a hole in my foot. DO NOT watch the next slide if you don’t want to see how gross it is lol.”

The dancer continued: “A literal hole in my foot. Soooo…I’m upset that I can’t seem to be doing any exercises at the moment because I’m a little hurt here, there and everywhere.”

Saffron starred in the 2019 BBC series Strictly Come Dancing alongside I’m A Celebrity’s AJ Pritchard.

Before appearing on the show, Saffron had already amassed over two million subscribers to her YouTube channel.

She joined Strictly following the success of YouTube star Joe Sugg on the show a year earlier.

Despite her dancing history, the star claimed that she “almost died” due to the intense training for The Real Dirty Dancing.

The 21-year-old said there were “falls every day” and that it wasn’t “beautiful like Ballroom and Latin like Strictly”.

Not only has dirty dancing proved more challenging with more falls, but Saffron said the more intimate dancing has taken her out of her comfort zone.

She said, “Walking into a ballroom is fine, but dancing dirty is like dragging a stranger, that’s not normal for me.”

TOWIE alum James Argent also opened up about the nature of the “bumping and grinding” on the show, telling New! that he stays professional.

When asked if he could understand how the Strictly Curse came about, he said, “Oh sure.

He has insisted he remains professional, saying: “It also depends on what type of dance you do, I suppose.

“But I kept it professional. I don’t get too excited.”
