Celebrity Big Brother is back on our screens after a six year hiatus, and if it's anything like the civilian series last year, we're set for romance and drama aplenty.
As the faces of the show, hosts Will Best, 38, and AJ Odudu, 36, will spend the next few weeks bringing us all the drama and updates from one of the most famous houses in the UK. With an exciting cast including Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith, former This Morning host Fern Britton and Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, we're looking forward to this groundbreaking series.
No stranger to the small screen, AJ has quite the career to brag about as she's done multiple TV jobs and gigs before. In fact, she's even presented Big Brother's sister show, Bit on the Side, making her the perfect choice for the job.

One of eight children, AJ was born to Nigerian parents in Blackburn where she grew up.
She graduated from university with a degree in English and politics leading to her first job role as a reporter for her local news.
Like a lot of celebrities, AJ changed her name for work. Her actual birth name is Onatejiro Odudu.
AJ is thought to currently be single after a number of relationships that didn't work out.
In December 2021 she was rumoured to be dating dancer Kai Widdrington who she was working with closely at the time.
AJ has been pretty open about her relationship history in the past as during her time on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, she confessed she had been cheated on.
She said: "I’ve been cheated on by three ex-boyfriends. "One of them was sleeping with my best friends."
There's no confirmed facts or figures around AJ's net worth but it's reported to be around £1.2million.
