Former Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard has revealed an unconventional financial suggestion from his fiancée during a candid podcast appearance. The dancer, who gained fame on the BBC show between 2016 and 2019, shared that Zara Zoffany proposed he sell photos of his feet online to boost their savings.
From Dance Floor to Digital Marketplace
AJ Pritchard, who became the youngest male professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, discussed the surprising advice on the Spent podcast with host Matt Edmonton. The television personality, known for his spectacular choreography that consistently took him to the semi-finals, revealed his fiancée's creative approach to generating income.
"My fiancée was, like: 'Honestly, you should just sell feet pics. That would help with probably even getting a house,'" Pritchard recounted. "We're like: 'People spend a lot of money on feet pics.'"
The Feet Pic Proposition
When pressed by Edmonton about whether this suggestion stemmed from his feet being famous or particularly attractive, Pritchard offered a detailed assessment of his pedal assets. "I don't know where this conversation is going, but my feet are clean," he said. "When I say clean, I feel like there are no wounds, let's say. I feel like girls' dancing feet, they have the straps [so] they're quite cut."
Despite acknowledging his feet's presentable condition, the dancer expressed bewilderment about the entire feet picture industry. "It blows my brain because I don't see the attraction to feet," he admitted. "But more to the point, I don't see why I am spending money on somebody's feet that probably aren't even their feet when you can just go on Google, and Google feet. What's the point?"
Celebrity Parallels and Financial Goals
Pritchard isn't the first celebrity to consider this unusual revenue stream. Singer Lily Allen has previously discussed making substantial money through feet pictures on OnlyFans, demonstrating the market's viability for famous figures.
The former Strictly star certainly has financial motivation, with his upcoming wedding to reality television personality Zara Zoffany. The couple, who got engaged in March 2025 after two years together, are documenting their wedding preparations through a dedicated Instagram account. Pritchard shared his proposal video on social media, captioning it: "Seeing that pure joy, that moment of surprise... it meant everything."
Post-Strictly Career Evolution
Since leaving Strictly Come Dancing, where he finished fifth with partner Saffron Barker in his final season, Pritchard has diversified his television career. He has appeared on reality shows including I'm A Celebrity and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, served as a guest choreographer on RuPaul's Drag Race, and made a memorable appearance on soap opera Hollyoaks alongside his brother Curtis Pritchard, known from Love Island.
The Spent podcast, presented in association with Nationwide, explores financial topics with various guests and is available on YouTube and major podcast platforms. While Pritchard hasn't confirmed whether he'll actually venture into the feet picture market, his revelation highlights the creative, if unconventional, ways celebrities consider supplementing their income in today's digital economy.
