Presenter AJ Odudu has apparently dropped a hint about her next hosting gig
(Picture: PA Wire)AJ Odudu has appeared to drop a major hint she is hosting the Big Brother reboot, according to fans.
Odudu, 34, is speculated to be taking on the role as the show returns to ITV later this year, and did little to slow down the rumours as she was joined by Rylan Clark for the Eurovision 2023 draw on Tuesday.
The pair announced the allocation draw ahead of Eurovision taking place in Liverpool in honour of last year’s winners Ukraine, who are unable to host due to the current Russian conflict.
During the event, Odudu was seen announcing the countries set to take part in the semi-finals on May 9 and 11. Before revealing one of the names, she shuddered and said: “Ooh, fancy another one?”

Famously said by Davina McCall when she hosted Big Brother, fans took this as an imitation from Odudu, and a clear hint that she is going to helm the rebooted show.
“Did @AJOdudu just confirm she’s the new @BBUK host with that, “fancy another one” moment on @BBCEurovision just then?” One viewer asked on Twitter.
A second also questioned: “Has Miss @AJOdudu given us a big hint?”
A third wrote: “AJ Odudu saying the iconic Davina line “fancy another one” during the allocation draw… that may be a little tease that she is our new host of Big Brother”.
Another viewer praised Odudu for “channelling Davina”, as someone else remarked: “That’s how you do a great reference”.
Odudu was reported to be in “final talks” to host Big Brother in November.
A source told The Sun at the time: “AJ has been offered the Big Brother job and jumped at the opportunity. It’s a huge boost to her career.
“AJ and ITV are still ironing out details in her contract but she has told a lot of people the job is hers.”
Fans have cheered on the decision to have Odudu named as the new Big Brother host, following the reports.
The TV star has history with the show, having presented the spin-off Big Brother’s Bit on the Side with the series’ last host Emma Willis and Clark, back in 2013.
Odudu should be able to slip into the hosting role easily, having led several other popular shows, including Manhunting with Mum, The Big Interiors Battle and The Big Breakfast.
