AJ Odudu was born and bred in Blackburn - but has come along way since her days in Lancashire
It's been off our screens for five years, but Big Brother made an explosive return to our living rooms on Sunday .
Speaking at Stylist magazine's live show in November last year, AJ revealed the accent discrimination she's experienced throughout her career. She said: “What’s interesting is that I feel my accent is definitely more celebrated now, but I’ve been in London for 14 years, and let me tell you when I first moved from Blackburn 14 years ago, this was not the accent to have.”
Despite this, the pair never confirmed nor denied the speculations, but Kai is now dating fellow Strictly professional, Nadiya Bychkova. Her first presenting role was in 2009 on BBC 2's The Almost Perfect Guide to Life and The 5:19 Show - an online BBC programme. Her early presenting career also featured a poignant role that has seemingly done a full-circle.
"It more than stung. I cried for months. I was so, so upset. I felt, like, gosh, what am I going to do?'
