AJ Odudu is a TV presenter, who many will recognise for presenting Big Brother’s Bit on the Side in 2013 alongside Rylan Clark and Emma Willis.
Since then she's gone to preset various shows, including The Voice, The Bridge and Don’t Rock the Boat and Married at First Sight's after show.
In 2021, she took part in the 19th season of Strictly Come Dancing and made it to the final with her professional dance partner Kai Widdrington. She had to drop out of the competition, however, after suffering an injury.
AJ Odudu has been tipped to host ITV's reboot of Big Brother, which will air later this year.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Emma Willis backed AJ Odudu as the Big Brother 2023 host, saying: "I know how much she loves it, I know how brilliant she is at live TV, and you need somebody who can handle that situation, but you really need somebody that loves that show and genuinely wants to talk about it, is invested in it and wants to watch it every night for months on end. I know she does."
