AJ Pritchard, a former professional dancer from **Strictly Come Dancing**, has recently revealed an unexpected suggestion from his fiancée. During an appearance on the Spent podcast, he disclosed that Zara Zoffany encouraged him to sell ‘feet pics’ as a way to save money.
Known for being the youngest male professional dancer on **Strictly**, AJ competed on the show from 2016 to 2019. He showcased his skills by consistently reaching the semi-finals and secured fifth place with partner Saffron Barker during his final season.
With a reputation as a fan favorite during his four years on the show, AJ has since ventured into reality television, participating in **I’m A Celebrity**, **Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins**, and serving as a guest choreographer on **RuPaul’s Drag Race**. His work also includes a memorable stint with his brother Curtis Pritchard on the soap opera **Hollyoaks**.
In his chat with Matt Edmonton on the Spent podcast, AJ explored the audacious financial advice from Zara, stating, “Honestly, you should just sell feet pics. People spend a lot of money on feet pics.” This playful suggestion certainly opened up a lively discussion about its potential.
When Matt inquired whether AJ’s feet were famous or simply attractive, AJ responded with humor, saying, “I don’t know where this conversation is going, but my feet are clean. They have no wounds, let’s say.” He contrasted his feet with the often worn-down feet of female dancers, suggesting his may hold a certain appeal.
Despite contemplating the viability of entering the ‘feet pic’ industry, AJ admitted that he doesn’t quite grasp the fascination surrounding it. “It blows my brain because I don’t see the attraction to feet,” he remarked, questioning why anyone would spend money on foot pictures that might not even belong to the person selling them.
AJ isn’t alone in thinking about venturing into this unique market; numerous celebrities, including **Lily Allen**, have made significant money by sharing similar content on platforms like OnlyFans. With expenses piling up for his forthcoming wedding to Zara, who has been documenting their engagement journey on Instagram, AJ may want to consider this unconventional money-making avenue.
The couple became engaged in March 2025 after a two-year relationship. AJ captured the joyful moment through a video shared on social media, stating, “Seeing that pure joy, that moment of surprise… it meant everything.”

Former Strictly Star Considers Unique Way to Save for House
AJ Pritchard, a well-known figure from the hit show Strictly Come Dancing, recently opened up about a surprising suggestion from his fiancée on saving for their future. While recording an episode of the Spent podcast, Pritchard revealed that his partner proposed selling ‘feet pictures’ as a means of boosting their finances.
Pritchard, who made his mark on Strictly as the youngest male professional dancer from 2016 to 2019, has seen immense popularity throughout his career. He became a fan favorite, even reaching the semi-finals in his last season alongside dance partner Saffron Barker.
Beyond his Strictly fame, AJ has diversified his career by appearing on various reality shows including I’m A Celebrity and as a guest choreographer on RuPaul’s Drag Race. His television presence has made him a recognizable figure in the entertainment industry.
Unexpected Financial Advice
During the podcast, host Matt Edmonton was curious about his fiancée’s idea, asking if it stemmed from AJ’s dancing background or his physical appearance. Pritchard humorously clarified, “I don’t know where this conversation is going, but my feet are clean.” He further explained that while his feet might be well-kept due to his dancing career, he remains perplexed by the appeal of feet photographs.
The Financial Foot Fetish Industry
Pritchard expressed disbelief at the feet photography market, questioning why anyone would pay for such images when they could simply search for them online. This candid acknowledgment underscores a growing trend among celebrities exploring alternative revenue streams through unconventional means.
Following in Famous Footsteps
AJ Pritchard isn’t alone in contemplating this venture. Numerous celebrities have successfully capitalized on foot photography, including singer Lily Allen, who has shared her own profitable experiences.

Planning for the Future
As AJ prepares for his wedding to Zara Zoffany, the financial advice comes at an opportune time.
