I like AJ and I think she was great on strictly but is it just me who can’t see her being as successful as her fans are making out? I think she will stick with similar hosting jobs she’s had in the past, I personally can’t see her breaking through to mainstream shows such as this morning etc but who knows. I hope she does well though.

I like her but her voice goes through me after a bit. Only so much of it you can tolerate

She seems to have been booking jobs left, right and centre already, so it has definitely helped her. As well as the Baftas she’s hosting the Beauty Awards at the end of the month. Good for her! John getting lots of work offers too.

What’s john been offered?

She sort of is, by putting stories up thanking him ( with a heart) for giving her mum a shoutout at the show on sunday , liking his posts, and him liking hers. Just subtle things, but shows they are chill. If you are a fan of both then you notice this little things. Those who have deleted Kai will not be aware.
She probably feels she’s done enough really and is leaving him to it now.
Will be very interesting to see how the reunion goes next friday when she goes to the show. I’m predicting a lot of her with John.

As I said before, I think from her own point of view she’s probably best to say nothing at all (self-preservation) or if she feels she wants to, come out and address it head on.

Because by the sounds of it, her stans are going to say someone forced her to thank him with a heart, there’s no way the high priestess would thank Kai even on behalf of her mum after the way he treated her…

It would probs just be better if these keyboard warriors just gave it up 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
I feel like these AJ fans on twitter and DS are going to be seriously disappointed when AJ goes to tour. I think some of them are expecting her to get this elaborate shoutout and backstage experience when in reality she will probably turn up, say a quick hello to the cast, get a 5 second shoutout and then go home 😂

I think her and John have been desperate to go clubbing again and catch up - that is the big friendship there, so i think that is what will happen.

How do people know they are desperate to go clubbing? I think these fans think they actually know these people, it’s very weird imo 😂

They went off to Heaven together after the finals and had a ball by all accounts! They been very lovey dovey on their comments to each other this week, I'm in no doubt they’ll be meeting up then.

Re: John work offers- Looks like some stage /musical work. He did shut down the Andrew Lloyd Webber one though, but said he’ll reveal stuff when he’s able

The BAFTAs is a pretty major booking but I do agree that I don’t know she’s made waves outside of the strictly fanbase. she reminds me a lot of Vick Hope with her career orientation, so could maybe see her going down the radio route (providing people don’t start whinging about her accent!)

Wouldn’t be shocked if Waitress book John if they end up returning to the West End, they like a celebrity booking and he’d make a fantastic Ogie imo

I went to see Waitress last night, it was fab. John would be great in it.

She wasn't blessed with dulcet tones, was she?

I won't be watching the BAFTAs as Tom Allen majorly irritates me and the thought of those two voices together makes my eye twitch.

The first time I saw her was when they did her reveal on The One Show and I honestly thought she would be too much for me. I do like her, and she came across well in that Emma and AJ Go To Work.

I think her and Tom Allen are friends, I definitely saw on his stories to vote for her. Are they presenting the main gig or just the nominations? I haven’t watched the BAFTAs in ages but they used to be quite stuffy and high brow. Good if they’re stepping away from that, it doesn’t have to be luvvies…they’re both quite loud and excitable.

ETA - Google is my friend, they’re doing the red carpet show and Rebel Wilson is the presenter of the awards.

The talented pair will also team up to announce this year’s nominations on 3 February 2022

I do like her, but in very small doses she’s just all a bit TOO MUCH for me.

I don’t think she’s going to have the mainstream success that others have alluded to, from what I’ve seen on a few presenting gigs/panel shows, she isn’t the sharpest tool in the box and I just don’t think the constantly loud personality will translate to some of the more lucrative gigs.

I still think she’d be great doing ITT with Rylan. Will be interesting to see how The Bridge works out for her ( the one she’s done in Vietnam) as it’s an action based series, not glamorous at all, which sort of suits her tougher, fitness side. She is truly awful at Quiz shows isn’t she? ( she does laugh about it, so no problem saying that).

There’s some form of publication, Entertainment Daily, that appears on my Facebook media and they seem to just pull social media posts and make stories out of them (sound familiar 😂). I had seen this one - I think she only hosted one episode though, but I didn’t see it:

Viewers divided as AJ Odudu makes first TV appearance after Strictly final withdrawal

Morning Live viewers were divided as AJ Odudu made her first TV appearance after withdrawing from the Strictly Come Dancing final.
www.entertainmentdaily.co.uk www.entertainmentdaily.co.uk

That reminded me of a couple of articles I’d seen about her not answering her questions in time on The Chase. I guess it just confirms that nobody is immune from crappy stories based on Joe Public’s social media posts 😂.

Re ITT - she obviously has the presenting experience Janette doesn’t and she’s popular, but I think there won’t be a decision on that until nearer the time. If Bruno does come back, I don’t think they’ll give Anton a contestant so what will they do with him? He’s also got presenting experience and he is Mr Strictly for a lot of people

I hadn’t thought of this but it doesn’t sound a bad idea! She’s an ex contestant like Zoe and is a strictly super fan with plenty of charisma, and fans seem to like her. It certainly seems more in reaching distance than Oprah 2.0, like we’ve seen mentioned 🤣 no offence to Janette but I just can’t quite take to her on ITT… her interviewing technique needs a little polishing I think

I think it’s bad form of the BBC to bring back Bruno after two series, and kick off Anton who has been fine on the panel. He can’t go back to being a professional so does he just get sacked? Shoddy.

I don’t think it’s been confirmed he is but there were a few articles doing the rounds (fans desperate for Bruno to return), plus Craig was obviously unhappy at Anton being on the panel/dropping hints that it would be his last year. We don’t know Craig hasn’t been spending the tour persuading Bruno to come back.

But on the other hand, he might not want to come back or as you say, the bosses might tell him to poke it, he made his bed when he picked America.

If The BBC are going to harp on about being green, they surely can't justify sending Bruno from LA to London every week? In fact same for Motsi really in Germany.

Not saying all judges have to be British but surely UK based?

At least for the 12 weeks or so they’re needed, you’d think that would be a minimum requirement. The new producer has changed a lot of stuff so I’m not sure why that would still be on the table, in terms of both the environment and unnecessary travel.
