AJ Odudu has confirmed that she is engaged, hard launching her mystery man with a carousel of PDA-heavy snaps.
The Big Brother host, 37, took to Instagram on Monday to share the exciting news, as she flashed a whopping diamond ring on her finger.
Captioning the loved-up post, AJ confirmed the engagement with a ring emoji and a love heart, writing: ‘Hiya love.’
Odudo, whose full name is Onatejiro Odudu, posted a black-and-white series of photos with her fiancé, revealing his face – although not his name – for the first time on her social media.
The TV presenters’ followers and celeb friends alike were quick to take to the comments to share their congratulations.
Loose Women’s Judi Love wrote in the comments: ‘Babessssss this is absolutely beautiful congratulations sweeties xxx,’ as Celebrity Big Brother’s David Potts added: ‘IMAGINE THE DRESS!!!!!!’
‘Wonderful news!!’ commented Ben Shephard as Olly Murs replied: ‘Awww buzzing for ya AJ!! Huge congratulations. Love these pics.’
Yet the announcement also came as a surprise to fans, as Odudu had not publicly confirmed she was in a relationship prior to sharing the happy news.
‘Hardest of hard launches,’ wrote @sofi.adams.photo in the comments to describe the post. @heyami added: ‘OH MY GOD!! He’s hit the jackpot with you baby!! Huge congratulations darling.’
The last romance rumours swirling around the Blackburn lass were in 2021, when she was paired up with Kai Widdrington during her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
Speculation was rife that the dance partners had struck up a connection after a source claimed Odudu was ‘falling’ for professional dancer Widdrington.
Fuel was only added to the rumours when Kai was caught on his microphone telling AJ: ‘I love you,’ during a live show.
Yet she went on to clear up the rumours in an exclusive interview with the Metro, saying: ‘I think this goes to show how we are clearly getting on really well.’
‘But, obviously, we just really want everyone to focus on what we’re doing on the dance floor.’
Weighing in on the rumours, Widdrington added that if it looks like the two are close, it means they’re doing their job. ‘[It’s] how the dance is supposed to be done,’ he argued.
