In November 2019, Baker revealed in a video her home was burgled while her family were asleep.

It was a stressful morning.

Dad woke up, went to go outside to go to work and realised that all our cars were gone."^[26]

"Our house was broken into and we are so upset still but we are all safe and that's what's important," she continued.^[26]

"As well as the cars, stuff has been stolen inside too.

Just handbags and shoes - so everything can be replaced.

But it's horrible knowing someone's come into your house while you're sleeping."^[26]

"I am covered in bruises," she confessed, explaining, "This is the first time we've done lifts together.

It is difficult and a lot of pain!" Her professional partner AJ Pritchard agreed that Saffron had been putting up with a lot of physical strain, but stressed that it will hopefully pay off when the judges score on Saturday.

"It is worth it though," he promised.

"I think the beautiful thing about doing a contemporary for Couples' Choice is it allows us to tell a story."

Upon leaving the show, Saffron reflected: "I’ve had the absolute time of my life and it’s all down to him [AJ].

It’s been amazing.

I’d like to thank AJ so much, when I look at what I was like on week one I was so embarrassed and shy.

He’s really taken me out of my shell.

Thank you so much for everything."^[25]
