Strictly ‘romance’
In 2021, AJ, 37, competed on Strictly with dance partner Kai Widdrington.
The pair found success on the BBC show and made it to the final. However, AJ had no choice but to pull out at the last minute after she tore a ligament in her right ankle.
In an interview with The Sun, AJ admitted the pair had great chemistry and hinted at a ‘romance’ behind the scenes.
She said: “There’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of chemistry, there’s a lot of romance, it’s thrilling!”
“And in practice, I could not look at Kai without bursting out into laughter,” AJ added.
“But now hopefully come Saturday night, I’m going to look at him eye to eye, look in love and it’s going to be amazing. But it is awkward!”
While no relationship between the two officially blossomed, an inside source told New magazine that Kai had been helping AJ deal with traumatic past relationships.
“AJ has been open about her past relationship history. She does find it hard to trust after previous partners cheated on her. But Kai is a really nice guy,” they said.
“He’s helping her get over any previous issues. So far he’s ticking all of the boxes.”
‘Pressure’ over relationship with a virgin
During the 2018 documentary Manhunting With My Mum, AJ’s connection with a 34-year-old church-goer named KC had viewers talking.
KC confessed that he had been saving his virginity for marriage and asked AJ about her situation during a picnic date in Nigeria.
“So have you had sex before? Or are you a chas (chastity) or virgin like me?” he said. In response, AJ shared: “I’m not chas like you, I don’t have my chastity belt and I’m not regretful of that.”
AJ explained she respected KC’s honesty and openness and explained she “would like to give this a try.” However, things started to get awkward when he asked AJ if she could teach him a few things “sexually”.
AJ admitted she had previously dated men who “couldn’t keep it in their trousers”, which is why “KC’s values make him oddly desirable”. Despite being a “nice guy”, she insisted the “problem is teaching someone and taking someone’s virginity”.
“That’s too much pressure for me and I don’t want to be responsible for it,” she added.
