Strictly’s AJ Odudu fuels romance rumours as she calls Kai Widdrington ‘baby’ in cute moment caught on mic
STRICTLY Come Dancing star AJ Odudu has dropped another huge hint of romance with partner Kai Widdrington after referring to the show pro as “baby.”
Following the pair’s stunning paso doble routine on Saturday’s BBC One show, which saw them secure their place in next week’s episode, their cute off-camera conversation has come to light.
Broadcaster AJ, 33, suffered a wardrobe mishap mid-routine when she slipped on her billowing yellow dress in the feisty routine and appeared to address the blunder in their debrief.
As they lay on the floor following the routine’s final steps, Strictly Come Dancing‘s newbie pro Kai told her: “Well done.”
AJ can then be heard apologising: “Sorry baby,” before he reassures her and said: “It’s OK. Well done.”
Fans were quick to pick up on the romantic reference when a video of the dialogue surfaced on the show’s Twitter page.
One user wrote: “‘Sorry baby’ don’t know how AJ&Kai are gonna escape this on ITT tonight.”
Another added: “AJ and Kai .. ,” as a third posted: “Aww AJ broke my heart you have nothing to apologise for.”

The duo have sparked romance rumours ever since AJ nearly kissed Kai in a recent routine.
The pair have set tongues wagging with their sizzling chemistry on the dancefloor and Kai was even heard saying “I love you” after their sensational movie week dance.
But they took it up a notch during their very sexy Argentine tango as it seemed AJ almost kissed Kai live on air.
At the end of their sultry routine to Stevie Nicks’ classic Edge of Seventeen, the sexy pair leaned in very close and sent fans into a frenzy.
For their part, AJ and Kai have only fuelled the chat after the TV presenter credited the dancer with helping her unleash her sexy side.
She said: “Right, So Kai has not only been teaching me how to dance but he’s been teaching me how to act. 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. 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!”
For many, getting up close and personal with someone you’ve only just met could be tricky, AJ said her mind is too focused on perfecting the routines to think about it.
“For me personally, I’m not thinking about it,” she said. “I’m literally thinking, ‘okay, heel, step onto the ball, roll onto the back of your…’ I’m thinking about the steps, Kai might as well not be there. Joking, I’m only joking.
“But I’m just concentrating so much that I’m not really focused on being in his personal space. And then when it comes to the performance, then I’m like, oh yeah Kai, brilliant, let’s do this. Do you know what I mean?”
AJ has also gone on to meet Kai’s mum in what some have speculated as a further sign. the pair’s feelings are equally strong off-camera.
