Strictly’s AJ Pritchard puts on a cosy display with girlfriend Abbie Quinnen as they step out in Manchester after the Sport Relief telethon

He joined forces with his brother Curtis earlier in the day for a penalty shootout.

But Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ Pritchard was joined by his beautiful girlfriend Abbie Quinnen on Friday as they left MediaCity in Manchester after the Sport Relief telethon.

The pro, 25, proudly supported the cause in a Sport Relief T-shirt as he left the studio with dancer Abbie, 22, who proudly displayed her washboard stomach in a black silk crop top.

AJ cut a casual figure in his relaxed Sport Relief T-shirt and acid washed jeans as he exited the studio with girlfriend Abbie.

The pretty dancer teamed a black crop top with oversized trousers and crocodile skin heeled boots, along with a cream trench coat.

Later AJ made a quick change out of his Sport Relief gear into a simple white T-shirt and long black trench coat as he headed out with Abbie.

Abbie and AJ were grinning from ear to ear as they headed out of the studio after attending the Sport Relief telethon, which raised more than £40 million for good causes. 

AJ made an appearance on Sport Relief after taking to the road for a nationwide tour with his newly-single brother Curtis.

Speaking to MailOnline ahead of the launch of the touring show, Curtis said: ‘The show may be called AJ Live, but I’m in every routine. So it should be called AJ Live… but with a lot of Curtis too!’

Curtis recently revealed the cheap and cheerful gift he purchased her his now ex-girlfriend Maura Higgins for Valentine’s Day – just weeks before the couple announced their split.

During a new interview with Heat magazine alongside his brother, Curtis revealed that his gift came about because he was pushed for time with his schedule on The Greatest Dancer, while she was busy with Dancing On Ice.

After a round of playful jibes from his brother about who was the most romantic – and being accused of not doing ‘anything’ for Maura on Valentine’s Day – Curtis responded: ‘I got Maura a bouquet of roses and a nice bottle of wine. Tesco’s Finest.’

Last week, a source confirmed to MailOnline that Maura and Curtis had officially split, just eight months after they met in the Love Island villa. They were further hit by claims that they had secretly split three months earlier.

The former grid girl allegedly felt pressured to stay in her relationship with the professional dancer in a bid to boost their profile, despite only announcing their split one week ago – claims that Curtis strongly denies.
