What a precious look back into their childhoods!

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were treated to an adorable look back into the childhoods of professional dancer AJ Pritchard and his brother Curtis during last night’s Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals.

AJ, who is partnered with YouTube sensation Saffron Barker this year, was seen chatting to fellow pro Neil Jones about their starring roles on the show before a video started to air in the background.

It showed AJ and his Love Island star brother dressed in 70s-style catsuits as they performed a dance routine to the Bee Gee’s Saturday Night Fever during a school play.

The two looked incredibly cute as they performed their hilarious routine – with their finger pointing moves giving little hint of the dancers they would become.

Viewers shared the same sentiment, saying baby-faced AJ hasn’t changed at all.

AJ also had a solo during the play and told Neil: “I am the trendiest dude in the joint.”

This year’s series marks the first year Neil has been partnered with a celebrity. He is due to keep dancing with former footballer Alex Scott.
