Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron Barker was on holiday in Dubai with her boyfriend and her parents when disaster struck
Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron Barker was close to tears after suffering with another holiday disaster while in Dubai with her boyfriend Josh Miln and parents. The star was only recently robbed while she was in America, but her bad luck didn’t end there as she opened up about the disaster incident that occurred in the United Arab Emirates.
The 24-year-old shared the update with fans on her YouTube channel and recounted accidentally losing her vlogging camera in the sea. Saffron surprised her parents with the yacht trip which started off well. However, her camera soon accidentally fell into the water leaving her close to tears.

Josh explained how a staff member picked up a nearby towel, with the camera slipping and falling overboard. Earlier in the clip, Saffron reiterated it wasn’t the staff member’s fault and it was accidental.
She said to fans: “It means I’ve lost all my footage and camera which I’ve obviously just bought because I got it stolen in the US. So that’s another £1000 camera just gone.
“But for me, I think I’m so upset because it’s every I vlogged this trip, it’s before this trip. It’s basically all my footage.” She also filmed a scuba diver attempting to recover the camera in hopes the SD card would still work.
Josh later added to the camera: “The guy who went down, he saw the anchor and said it was dragging. So, we have moved since we docked. So the chances of getting the camera are very low.”
In May, while Josh and Saffron were in the US, the YouTuber revealed armed men broke into her car and stole all her belongings while the couple were at a Peggy Sue’s diner.
“I honestly can’t leave the US right now and everything I had with me was completely stolen,” Saffron said. “If I’m being honest, this trip has just not gone to plan at all. I’ve suffered the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life.”
Everything, including their passports and medication, was stolen. “It’s not just the material things. It’s everything we needed. We had nothing left, no ID, no medication, nothing,” Saffron explained.
In her recent YouTube video detailing the ‘nightmare’ holiday, she stated: “We keep saying how lucky we are, we could have been held at gun point. These people could have been following us.”
“I think honestly it happens quite often at Peggy Sue’s. I know for a fact that if Josh had walked out and seen it you would have gone over there and they have guns and stuff here.
“So we are also very, very grateful that nothing like that happened to us and neither of us are hurt.”
