AJ Odudu is the type of presenter who makes her audience feel like they are sitting opposite her in the pub rather than in front of a TV screen. The ultra successful TV star, who is due to host the reboot of seminal reality show Big Brother this Autumn, has a relatability, warmth and natural charm that has seen her career soar from her beginnings at BBC Switch, via The Voice UK and Big Brother’s Bit On the Side, and a show-stealing stint on Strictly (until a last-minute injury robbed her of a shot at the Glitter Ball).
Yet despite having a thriving career in arguably one of the most outgoing, extrovert fields out there, AJ isn’t immune from the creeping doubts and anxieties many of us experience on a daily basis – with the presenter revealing she regularly wrestles with imposter syndrome and doesn’t always feel as assured on-camera as she might seem.
