The presenter was 'crushed' when she wasn't asked to return
Blackburn -born Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu has spoken out about being axed from the show without warning.
Although her net worth now sits at an approximate £1.2 million, AJ comes from more humble beginnings. Born and bred in Blackburn, she is one of eight children born to Nigerian parents, with her father working as a bus conductor and her mother as a seamstress, cleaner and dinner lady in a private school.
Her first presenting role was in 2009 on BBC 2's The Almost Perfect Guide to Life and The 5:19 Show - an online BBC programme. "Finally having made it to your dream job, you don't think you're going to have to scale back like that - it's a real knock to the ego."
