After performing their stunning waltz at the routine, the TV presenter 'liked' a tweet which read: "Flipping love @AJOdudu what a top girl! Such a great attitude and lovely personality. I hope she is getting it on with Kai cos she deserves it! #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly."
AJ and Kai are gearing up for their couple's choice routine this weekend which will see them perform a number to Janelle Monae's track Make Me Feel. However, the ballroom competition has faced another stroke of bad luck after it was confirmed that Motsi Mabuse will not be able to take to the judging panel this weekend.

The judge shared on Instagram she had come into contact with a person who had since tested positive COVID-19. Due to Motsi's German vaccination status not being recognised by the UK authorities, the dancer has been forced to isolate, causing her to miss the show. Hollywood star and West End legend Cynthia Erivo, who replaced Craig Revel Horwood last week, will once again appear as a guest in Motsi's place.
