AJ Odudu's BBC Eurovision host 'snub' angers fans as another huge TV role predicted for her

Upset Eurovision fans have accused the BBC of 'snubbing' AJ Odudu, after the popular presenter was noticeably absent from the broadcaster's presenting line-up for this year's event.

Given that the ex Strictly star hosted the Eurovision semi final draw for the BBC just a few weeks ago, alongside Rylan Clark, many viewers were expecting to see AJ to play some sort of role in the Liverpool event; however, when the list of presenters was confirmed in full on Wednesday morning, she was nowhere to be seen.

The announcement on who will host Eurovision 2023 was announced in tandem online and on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 show, with the hosts for the grand final confirmed as popular Eurovision commentator Graham Norton, Ukrainian singer and composer Julia Sanina, Emmy Award-winning actress, Hannah Waddingham, and singer-songwriter, pop star and TV presenter, Alesha Dixon.
