Strictly star reveals hospital dash and emergency surgery as ‘thieves steal everything she owns’ after car crash

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Saffron Barker has revealed she's had emergency surgery.
In a nightmare week that has seen her crash a rental car abroad and get robbed of her possessions, the tearful social media star posted from hospital.
Clutching a cuddly toy, shaken Saffron wrote: "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."
It's the latest blow for Saffron, 24, who has had a troubled 18 months.
In October she was rushed to hospital with "shooting pains" after developing "rashes all over my body".
Doctors had feared she’d caught a tropical disease from a mosquito after falling ill soon after returning home from a trip away.
Describing her symptoms, Saffron said: “I had all the symptoms (of a tropical disease) being, rashes all over my body, headache, body aches, shooting pains in my body, temperature, sore throat and ears etc.
“After getting my bloods taken turns out I didn’t have that but my white blood cells were half the number they should be so very low and therefore my whole body was trying to fight the infection.”
While in January last year she had to be stretched off a ski slope after suffering a nasty fall.
Fast forward to this February and Saffron learned her ex-boyfriend, Louis Rees-Zammit, had moved on with a new woman that looked just like her a year after their split.
Saffron, who starred on the 17th series of Strictly with AJ Pritchard, shared a thinly-veiled swipe on TikTok after professional rugby player Louis shared holiday snaps with his new girl.
She didn't say anything in the short clip, but used a snippet of Kendrick Lamar's track Not Like Us for the audio.
Over the video, she wrote: "No revenge because I have quite frankly literally never heard anyone say something nice about you."
Saffron then captioned it: "And Karma always get them."
