A massive fireball during the Celebrity SAS show triggered Pritchard, who lives in London, to have flashbacks of his ex-girlfriend Abbie Quinnen suffering third degree burns.

The couple were attempting a YouTube tutorial, turning a wine bottle into a vase, when Quinnen caught on fire.

Abbie’s hair extensions caught fire and she became a “fireball” that left her in intensive care for nearly a week.

On Celebrity SAS, the dancer suffered flashbacks of the accident during an exercise with several explosions.

The dancer said: “As soon as that final barrel on the left went off with the fire, I realised that I obviously haven’t come to terms with the situation.

“It just brought back a living image of her in a fireball.”

The couple have now reportedly split after Abbie Quinnen found Pritchard “texting another woman.”

AJ Pritchard had been with Abbie Quinnen for the last four years.

Pritchard is now reportedly dating influencer Zara Zoffany, 27, just weeks after the “out of the blue” break-up from Abbie last month.

The dancer was photographed at a London club on Friday with Zoffany and then was pictured near her home on Sunday.

“AJ isn’t the person I thought he was. After everything I went through with him I thought we would be together forever.

“He has been the biggest disappointment to me.

“This has knocked my confidence after my accident and I need to rebuild myself now.”

During the interview Quinnen accused Pritchard of changing after flying to South America in September to film The Challenge alongside Zara.

Abbie shared that she had caught AJ texting another woman on his phone before confronting him about the situation.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star then went to stay with his family in Stoke-on-Trent to “gather his thoughts” for a few days.

Quinnen revealed how her ex-boyfriend was “completely emotionless” as he ended their relationship.

The next day AJ’s brother, former Love Island star Curtis, 26, asked Abbie to come and collect her belongings from Pritchard’s house.
