Strictly Come Dancing Professional AJ Pritchard Defends His Sexuality

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer AJ Pritchard has responded to fan speculation about his sexuality.

The 24-year-old has been part of the show since 2016, and attracted a large following among gay fans during his time performing, according to PinkNews.

He recently spoke out to defend his situation and said he would be keeping his sexuality ambiguous, in an interview with The Sun.

"I don't think I should have to define it," he commented.

"From the age of 12 when I decided to dance in high school, everyone was saying, 'Oh, you're a dancer," and there was that kind of stigma about it.

"I try not to think about it. I just live my life, but the support from the gay community is always fantastic.

"I love being around gay people, going to gay clubs. Obviously in this industry there happens to be more, so it just seems to work perfectly, and it helps with the sales for the calendar," he quipped.

The BBC show recently featured a same-sex dance routine, performed to Imagine Dragons track 'Believer', and gained a lot of praise from fans for the controversial move.
