Saffron Barker tears up after admitting to breaking up with boyfriend Josh
Break-ups are never easy, let alone in the public eye, so spare a thought for poor Saffron Barker who has shared an emotional update.
The 26-year-old influencer and Strictly Come Dancing star was in tears as she told her 2.5 million YouTube followers about the split.
YouTuber Saffron had been dating Josh Miln, a model, for two years, and revealed how she is 'hurting' following the heartbreak.
They had even been living in Dubai together, after she left her life in Brighton behind to head overseas with him.

The split followed another big move for Saffron, after she had just relocated to New York to follow her acting dreams.
As tears fell, she filmed herself saying: “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," she continued.
"However, since being here, our relationship has ended," added the influencer.
Saffron added: “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.”
However, she said she wouldn't be going into detail about what happened 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,” she confessed.
“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.”
Attempting to smile for the camera, she tried to end things on an upbeat note.
She added it was 'just one of those things' and thanked her massive fanbase for their support, saying she 'feels really loved'.
Her ex, Josh, hasn't commented about the split yet, but eagle-eyed fans had noticed that the former couple had unfollowed each other on social media as well.
That's the ultimate sign nowadays that things are over, as the couple used to share each other online a lot.
Saffron had previously shared a video, in which she wrote: "How lucky am I that my best friend is also my super hot boyfriend."
Fans were encouraging Saffron, telling her she can now enjoy the single life in New York instead, saying she's in the best possible place.
