AJ Odudu has shared what she thinks is the most exciting part of Celebrity Big Brother.
The 36-year-old presenter is back on our screens hosting the rebooted version of the reality show with Will Best and the star-studded line-up of contestants have also completed their first week in the most famous house in Britain.
AJ has revealed she is looking forward to seeing the “real” side of the celebrities and says some are going to struggle to keep up their “squeaky clean persona”.

She recently told Daily Star and other press: “The most exciting thing about the celebrity version is everyone goes in thinking they are going to keep up this squeaky clean persona and it’s all going to be filtered and edited to how they like titbit actually the control is taken out of their hands. I think their luxuries being stripped away from them means they will be disarmed from the get go and we’ll get to see the real them.”

It comes after AJ previously opened up on heartbreak behind the scenes, revealing how she once walked in on her cheating partner in bed with another women. The TV star who is currently single and remains private about her love life, said: “To walk in on that, I was stunned. Seeing that was crazy.
“I wasn’t hysterical. I didn’t burst into tears or anything like that. I just felt in that moment, I need to gather all the information that I can, and I don’t want it from him. I want it from her, actually, because weirdly, in that moment, I trusted her more than I trusted him.

“So, I asked her to put her clothes back on and follow me outside and answer all of my questions, how long had this been going on and whatever. And then as soon as that happened, I watched her leave and then I packed all my stuff and got a taxi and left.” It is not known who the man was, but AJ revealed on the How To Fail podcast how they were in a long-term relationship and were “building a future together”. She added: “I literally was like I’m not going to cry in front of this person.
“This person isn’t worth my tears. You know, I don’t want to hit him or cry in front of him. I’m not going to show him that side of me. However, I proceeded to have years of tears and years of trauma away from him.

“It was like this person had, you know, made out that they love me, they see their future with me and it was completely reciprocated. We were, in my mind, building towards a positive future together. He was just someone that I just wouldn’t ever expect to behave in that way.” During her time on Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, AJ gave a further insight into her previous relationships. She said: “I’ve been cheated on by three ex-boyfriends. One of them was sleeping with my best friends.
In November 2020, the presenter revealed in an interview that she was still single after the pandemic had put her dating life on hold. She said: “It’s so funny because I thought, ‘Right this is the time I’m going to go on a date!’ and then just as I was getting out there, lockdown two happened and now I’m just focused on work”, she previously said to MailOnline.
Celebrity Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday on ITV1, STV and ITVX at 9pm
