AJ Pritchard's girlfriend Abbie Quinnen hits back at strangers who have messaged her claiming that the dancer is gay.

AJ Pritchard's girlfriend Abbie Quinnen has hit back at internet trolls who have claimed that her boyfriend is gay.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional - currently appearing on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - has refused to put a label on his sexuality in the past, saying that it is 'not necessary'.

AJ, 27, has been dating 23-year-old Quinnen - also a dancer - since last year and speaking to The Sun, she revealed that she has been receiving messages from strangers informing her that she is dating a gay man.

"I am 100% positive that AJ is not gay," she said. "But he doesn't like to put labels on anything.

"He has said 'love is love' because he really does believe that 'love is love', and it doesn't matter who you love, whether that be a girl or a boy.

"We have so many friends who are gay and we literally support them so much.

"I support anyone who has a boyfriend and is a boy, and anyone who has a girlfriend and is a girl. I am absolutely all for it.

"I am most definitely straight but I do believe that love is love."

I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9.15pm on ITV.
