Reality TV star Saffron Barker has split from her boyfriend Josh after their relationship struggled to survive a planned move to Dubai, with insiders telling the Daily Mail that the couple's "dream" life abroad soured amid tensions between them. Sources close to the pair claim Barker's ambition and eagerness to build a new life away from the UK put strain on the relationship, with one insider suggesting she has "always been desperate" to succeed and move on to bigger opportunities.

Following the break-up, Barker is said to be setting her sights on a fresh start in New York, where she reportedly has ambitious career plans rather than settling back into life in Britain. The Daily Mail's report, compiled by Molly Clayton, draws on unnamed insiders' accounts of the couple's private circumstances rather than public statements from Barker or Josh themselves.
