AJ Pritchard admits pressure became “overwhelming”
On the latest episode of The Next Pro, AJ told Nina: “Just like the stress and exhaustion, especially when you do a routine and just want it to be perfect. For years and years I’ve wanted this and I don’t want to go home.”
Nina tried to reassure him, saying: “It’s not going to happen. Stop it. Don’t even think like that.”
Speaking separately to the camera, AJ admitted he may place too much pressure on himself because he wants people to understand how important the opportunity is to him.
He then revealed that his commitment to the competition had affected his wedding plans.
AJ said: “I’ve sacrificed so much to be here and do this. I’ve had to move my wedding. It’s overwhelming when I actually think about the lengths I’ve gone to.
“To not achieve what I’ve given up everything for would just be so disappointing.”
The report did not give further details about when AJ and his fiancée Zara Zoffany now plan to marry. AJ reportedly proposed to Zara in Hyde Park last June, two years into their relationship.
