AJ Pritchard, a former Strictly Come Dancing performer, breaks down in tears as he speaks about his move to pursue Dancing With the Stars: The Pros. He says he has delayed his wedding while working toward the opportunity, framing it as part of a wider set of sacrifices.

Both outlets report that Pritchard describes the emotional impact of the decision. The Mirror adds detail that he is seen while trying to make it “stateside,” while both accounts emphasize that his wedding delay is linked to his ambition to compete professionally on the American dance show. The reporting focuses on his personal reflections and the trade-offs involved, rather than providing additional details about the wedding timing or the exact circumstances of his casting or travel.
