In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Abbie said: ‘I am so desperate to see him – I am going crazy I feel like I have been lost without him.
‘All I want to do is hug him and kiss him – it’s been too long now! I definitely can see he is missing me.
‘While AJ has been in the castle he organised some gifts for me that I’d have during his time in there to show he was still thinking of me.
‘He has booked Soho Farmhouse so we are going there in December for a couple of nights so I’m really excited for that. He was so cute and very, very romantic, I got some gorgeous roses and candles and perfume as well.’

AJ preplanned the gifts with the help of his brother Curtis, in a romantic act that has convinced Abbie he deserves to win boyfriend of the year.
She added: ‘He got Curtis to sort it all out for me so the first day, I got a card that said we’re going for a weekend away on this date and he promised to say I love you every night even though it might not be shown on the TV.
‘I can’t believe he did it. He’s won best boyfriend of the year 2020! I was a mess, poor Curtis; I just shut the door and started crying!’
The dancers met while performing together on touring show, Get on the Floor, and have now been in a relationship for 18 months.

Abbie, who’s been living alone at AJ’s London flat as he competes on I’m A Celeb, believes he’s The One and they will go onto start a family together.
She said: ‘I am really, really excited to see him and hug him and kiss him. I definitely do see him as The One; we do talk about marriage and kids quite a lot of the time so I hope he is The One.
‘We have also spoken about possibly going to Dubai over Christmas but I’m more than happy to spend it with either one of our families.’
Abbie revealed she dreamed of dating AJ as they toured together but he remained coy about his feelings for her until the production had come to an end.

She explained: ‘We were really shy around each other and giggly and then we became good friends but we were still shy around each other.
‘Then he started messaging me on WhatsApp and giving me lifts home and it was just really, really cute and innocent.
‘He wouldn’t overstep the mark and I didn’t know if he liked me. It was more “he’s really handsome and if only!” In the end when the tour finished he asked me out on a date and we kept dating and it went from there.’
The couple still makes time to dance together, with Abbie saying their private routines are the ‘cutest thing.’
She said: ‘We dance together all the time. In Wales, we were practicing dancing together because we have a few upcoming shows and have been practicing for that.
‘We dance together probably twice a week. It’s the cutest thing and I helped him with all his dances with Saffron in Strictly last year.’
