Tom Malone Jr and Saffron Barker spark dating rumours with matching New Year's photos

There is speculation that Tom Malone Jr. and Saffron Barker are dating, with it prompted by photos of them wearing matching costumes for a New Year's Eve party.

Tom, 29, and Saffron, 22 - who both took part in The Real Dirty Dancing, which aired on E4 last year - are understood to have both attended a gathering in Brighton last night.

Guests donned costumes for the occasion, with the pair having dressed up like characters from Grease - resembling the film's leads Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson.

Former Gogglebox star Tom shared photos of them on Instagram, which showed him and Saffron wearing matching jackets featuring the T Birds' logo with their arms wrapped round each other.

He wrote: "Just a couple T Birds and a Karate Kid. New Years was a madness".

Saffron responded to Tom's upload with a hand over mouth emoji before sharing the snaps on her own page.

The posts have prompted speculation that they are dating. Some fans took to the comments to question whether he's no longer in a relationship with Bryony Briscoe.

One person responded to his post: "No more Bryony then?" Another wrote: "New girlfriend Tom....". A third wrote about the dancer and Saffron: "Are these two an item?"
