Strictly Come Dancing star Saffron Barker has reportedly become a victim of phone hackers who have leaked ‘intimate’ pictures online.
According to The Sun, the hack has allegedly raised concern that other snaps of the YouTuber could go public.
“This is worrying as Saffron seems to have been targeted because she is on the show,” a source told the paper.
“Part of the security briefings have been about online security because that is an area that hackers and blackmailers target.”
“There is a fear that Saffron could be threatened with the pictures, or that other more explicit ones could also have been stolen.”
The images currently leaked reportedly show the 19 year old wearing a towel in a series of selfies.

Saffron is taking part in the current series of Strictly, where she is teamed up with AJ Pritchard.
The pair have been followed by romance rumours since their professional partnership, but reps for the stars say they are just friends.
