STRICTLY star Saffron Barker has broken down in tears as she opened up on her sad split from her model ex for the first time.
The 26-year-old called it quits with Josh Miln last week as they unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Saffron and Josh were together for two years and lived in Dubai after she packed up her life in Brighton to be with him.
But now, the YouTuber has spoken out for the first time since the split was revealed.
Speaking in a video shared on the streaming platform, she said: “As you guys know, I came to New York. I came here nearly six weeks ago now, I came here for an acting school.
“When I first came to New York, Josh and I were still together. However, since being here, our relationship has ended.”

She continued: “Obviously we were together for nearly two years but we also pretty much lived with each other for two years.
“And anyone that has lived with a partner will know when you live with someone it feels like you’ve been with them a lifetime.”
Saffron got teary-eyed as she confessed she was “hurting” and told fans she wouldn’t be detailing what went on between the pair.
“It’s very fresh it’s very new. I’ve cried way too much already. I really don’t want to cry again,” admitted Saffron.
“If this relationship and all my relationships have taught me anything it’s probably just that I need to really focus on self love and focus on myself and do things that are going to make me happy.”
The social media star then wiped the falling tears from her eyes as she thanked her near 2.5 million YouTube followers for their support.
She sobbed as she said she felt “really loved” amid their shock split.
Saffron ended the clip on a positive note as she plastered on a smile and admitted it was “just one of those things.”
The formerly loved-up couple featured on each other’s socials nearly everyday.
They did everything together as they embraced their new adventure over 3,000 miles away from her family and friends.
Saffron is now living the single life in New York and looks happier than ever as she picked up acting again after putting her dream on hold.
Josh has so far stayed silent amid their break up.
