Strictly star rushed to hospital for surgery after being robbed while abroad
The 24-year-old influencer started her YouTube channel in 2015, where she continues to share content about lifestyle and beauty, fashion and fitness to her two million followers.
In 2019 she was also cast on Strictly, where she was paired with professional dancer AJ Pritchard. The pair eventually placed sixth, with that season won by Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse.
She's also appeared on Celebrity Hunted and The Celebrity Circle.
However, this week Saffron shared she'd faced a series of setbacks.

Posting a photo on Instagram of herself in hospital cuddling a teddy bear, she explained: 'In the last week I've been in hospital, had emergency surgery, got my rental car completely smashed up and every single thing I own stolen including my passport so I can't get home.'
Over the past week Saffron has been posting photos from California but hasn't shared any further update on the issues she's facing.
It's the latest setback she's faced recently, with the influencer being rushed to hospital with a suspected 'tropical disease' last year.
In October she posted a series of updates showing her skin covered in a red rash, an IV drip coming from her arm and bloody bruises where blood had been drawn by medics.
She said in a caption alongside an image of her lying in bed in pyjamas: 'Thank you so much for all your well wishes, after a week I finally feel somewhat normal again.
'The doctors thought I'd caught a tropical disease from a mosquito when I was away.
'I had all the symptoms being, rashes all over my body, headache, body aches, shooting pains in my body, temperature, sore throat and ears etc.'
However, she went on to share she hadn't contracted malaria but was still battling the rash. More Trending
Earlier in the year she also sought medical help during a skiing holiday following a painful fall.
In 2023 her brother Casey also suffered a 'major heart attack' aged 27 and was admitted to hospital.
She later detailed he made it to the hospital 'just in time' to save him and they were 'lucky he [is] still here'.

Rag'n'Bone Man updates fans from hospital after last-minute show cancellation
Rag'n'Bone Man shared a health update with his fans a day after needing to cancel a European show after his team said he had 'fallen ill' Rag'n'Bone Man took to social media to update fans on his health after cancelling a gig last minute. The singer, 40, whose real name is Rory Graham, has been on tour in Europe, but had to cancel a gig last minute following a medical issue. The BRIT Award winner, who had already taken to the stage at festivals held in Romania and Latvia last week as part of his latest run of appearances, stunned fans by announcing his gig in Lithuania on Tuesday had been pulled. Taking to Instagram, his team informed his followers the star had "fallen ill" and will no longer be able to perform, though they didn't provide further any details over his health. In the statement released on social media, the singer's team said: "Show cancellation today. "We're deeply sorry to let you know that today's concert in Kaunas has been cancelled as Rag'n'Bone Man has unfortunately fallen ill." Now, from a hospital bed in Kaunas, the singer has shared an update. He uploaded a number of images of him topless in hospital. Connected to wires, he issued a thumbs down in the second shot. He captioned his post: "Being stuck in hospital in Lithuania was not on my list of shit to do before you die! Anyone watching anything good? "I've got lots of time to kill. Sorry to anyone that had tickets to my shows Trust me I'd rather be on stage!" Fans were quick to send get well messages in the comments section of his post. Among them was DJ Premier who wrote: "Get strong and back on stage to enjoy what you're here to do and love RORY. You'll bounce back." Ellis Genge also penned: "Must have some big hospital beds over there bruv, get well soon mate," while Alison Hammond was among the star's followers to have clicked the like button on the post. The update comes after his team said the star had been "seeking medical care". They acknowledged that some fans would have already made plans, including around travel, ahead of the gig and added: "We know many of you were looking forward to the show and may have travelled or made special plans, we truly appreciate your understanding at this time." The statement, signed by his team, ended by saying: "Rory will be so upset to have to cancel this show and we'll be working hard to scheduled a show in Lithuania soon. For ticket refunds, please contact your ticket distributor/the point of ticket sale from which you purchased." Following an event last week, which he later described as an "insane night," the star took to the stage at the Positivus Festival in Latvia.

Rosie O'Donnell fans react to her slimmed down figure
Rosie O'Donnell is marveling at the slimmed down figure she has achieved with the help of weight loss drug Mounjaro. The former talk show host, 63, has been taking the drug since late 2022, yet remains in disbelief over how far she has come. In her latest Instagram post, Rosie revealed she is now a size 12 - and praised the drug as a 'life saver'. Rosie showed off her dramatic results as she went shopping for a new travel outfit, her slimmed down body on display in a fitted black track suit. 'ok so went shopping to but a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22 hour flight to Australia- was undecided as i cant see myself in this new smaller body- cam n robin took this photo of me in the dressing room - i am shocked im a 12 - #mounjaro is a life saver,' she gushed in the caption. Fans were equally impressed in the comments, with one merely stating 'WOW' (along with a few emojis) in response to the picture. Kristin Chenoweth also chimed in, writing: 'You look amazing!' Another wrote: 'It is a life changing med! Not only does it help you lose weight but decreases the inflammation in your body so you feel so much better. Rosie - you look great and hope you feel great too!!' One complimented her: ''I've been needing this for years but my insurance won't cover it. You look awesome-although your Beautiful soul shines through in ANY body.' Mounjaro 'is an injectable prescription medicine that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus,' per the official website. Back in March of this year, O'Donnell talked about her 'shocking' new size after taking the medication. In a TikTok video uploaded at the time, she explained to her followers: 'I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight. 'But [the weight loss] is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don't have a chef now. It's me cooking for [my child] Clay and me.' The TV personality then recalled how she went to a clothing store in Dublin and revealed she was a size large after previously wearing sizes XL or XXL. 'I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking,' the mom-of-five expressed. Being on Mounjaro has not only aided her in losing weight, but has made her feel 'healthier' and she is also 'sleeping better.' Back in January 2023, Rosie revealed she had been prescribed the medication and credited it with helping her drop 10 pounds during the holiday season. While taking her child to school, the star explained on TikTok: 'I need to let you know I've lost 10lbs since Christmas.' She added that she had been taking Mounjaro after a fan commented, 'You can't drop a bomb like that and not tell us HOW???' Rosie stated, 'Okay, so like two months ago, my doctor put me on... not Ozempic, Mounjaro? Something like that, and Repath.' She added, 'One I do every other week, and one I do once a week. And that and on Christmas, I stopped drinking anything except water.

Cain is left reeling after unexpected new discovery in Emmerdale
Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) is a man who takes risks in Emmerdale, always in the hope they'll be worth it. But pretending he's the manager of Cain Dingle's (Jeff Hordley) garage was a risk that was never, ever going to pay off. A few days ago, Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) received confirmation that she was now officially divorced from Tom King (James Chase). Once Tom's relatives Nicola and Jimmy King (Nicola Wheeler and Nick Miles) discovered the development, they offered Belle some support, and Nicola wondered how long it would be until she started getting back into the dating scene. Belle set up a profile on an app and Nicola managed to grab her phone and swipe on a few accounts, one of them being Kammy's. Of course in the moment his phone pinged with the notification, Kammy didn't know that Nicola had swiped, which meant the next time he saw Belle, he was coy and giggly, wondering how long it would be until they went out on a date. Because of Belle's anxieties surrounding relationships, she quickly shut Kammy down and said she wasn't interested at all. In tonight's episode though, it was clear that wasn't entirely true. Belle arrived in the café and found Kammy. They joked about Kammy lying on his profile and pretending that he's the boss at Cain's garage. And then he arrived. Cain questioned Kammy about this and it left him fearful, but it was clear he wasn't being totally serious. As he approached the counter for a drink, Cain glanced back at Belle and Kammy. They were laughing together and Cain realised that his sister was very much enjoying Kammy's company. A while later, Cain found Kammy in the village. He apologised again about the profile lie, but then found himself feeling even more awkward when Cain wondered if there was something going on between him and Belle. Kammy reassured Cain and said they're just mates. Cain can clearly sense something is going on though as if not, he wouldn't have felt the need to remind Kammy that Belle has been through an awful lot, and doesn't need someone messing her around. More Trending In the pub, Belle discovered what Cain had said to Kammy, and reiterated that they were just friends. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
