Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr has fuelled rumours of a romance with Strictly’s Saffron Barker after the pair appeared in Grease-style snaps on social media.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron, 22, captioned the pictures of her and Tom, 28, in her Instagram: “Go Grease lightning.”
The pair wore matching black leather jackets with “T Birds” emblazoned on the back., clearly referencing the late 1970s hit film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, as Sandy and Danny.
