Saffron jetted out to Dubai along with her parents, as well as boyfriend Josh Miln.

In her latest vlog, she opened up to fans about an unfortunate mishap on the holiday.

Saffron surprised her parents with a yacht trip – which the whole group had been enjoying.

Disaster struck when Saffron’s vlogging camera accidentally fell into the sea.

Speaking to viewers, Josh explained how a member of staff picked up a nearby towel – with the expensive tech slipping and falling overboard.

Earlier in the video, Saffron reiterated it was accidental and not the staff member’s fault.

She said: “It means I’ve lost all my footage and camera which I’ve obviously just bought because I got it stolen in the US.

“So that’s another £1000 camera just gone. But for me, I think I’m so upset because it’s every I vlogged this trip, it’s before this trip. It’s basically all my footage.”;

A scuba team was dove down to try and recover the camera – in the hope its SD Card may be recoverable.

Josh later said: “The guy who went down, he saw the anchor and said it was dragging. So, we have moved since we docked.

“So the chances of getting the camera are very low.”;

Last month, Saffron while she and Josh were visiting the USA.

She shared her harrowing experience in a candidmake-up tutorial, explaining the aftermath after men broke into her car.

Explaining these men were armed, Saffron said: “I honestly can’t leave the US right now and everything I had with me was completely stolen.

“If I’m being honest, this trip has just not gone to plan at all. I’ve suffered the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life.”;

What was meant to be a fresh start for Saffron and Josh quickly turned into a nightmare.

After a difficult period, the couple decided to try and salvage their trip with a road trip fromto.

Renting a Jeep, they set off vlogged their journey.

About two hours into the drive, the pair stopped at Peggy Sue’s Diner, a nostalgic spot Saffron had visited with her parents many years ago.

She admitted: “We were completely naive. There were lots of cars around, so we didn’t think anything bad could happen.”;

But when they returned to their car after just half an hour inside, they found it completely smashed up.

Every single item inside was stolen – including their and Saffron’s medication.

She said tearfully: “It’s not just the material things. It’s everything we needed. We had nothing left, no ID, no medication, nothing.”;

The incident was made worse by the fact the area was busy and yet no one seemed to intervene.

Josh added: “There were tourists everywhere, and apparently this happens almost every day. It’s crazy that there are no warning signs.”;

Despite their shock and devastation, the couple counted their blessings.

Saffron said: “I’m so grateful to be alive. They have guns in America, and something much worse could have happened. We keep telling ourselves that we should be grateful we’re still here.”;
