- AJ Odudu expresses extreme fear of jungle spiders and falling snakes.
- She admitted to lying to friends and dodging interviews before her jungle stint.
- Odudu plans to go cold turkey on treats as her strategy for the competition.
AJ Odudu, a 38-year-old TV presenter, has confessed to feeling 'terrified' ahead of her upcoming appearance on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!. The show is set to begin next week on Monday, November 16th, 2026. Odudu, known for hosting Big Brother, has landed in Australia for the ITV competition.
She shared her anxieties on Instagram, admitting she's been avoiding friends and interviews due to excitement and fear. Odudu, originally from Blackburn, expressed particular concern about the jungle's large spiders and snakes, stating, "I'm also so terrified." She humorously suggested viewers ignore any potential public displays of fear, joking, "If you see me crying over a cockroach on the TV, no, you didn't."
Odudu's strategy for surviving the jungle involves abstaining from all treats upon entering the camp, a tactic she calls 'going cold turkey.' Other notable contestants joining her in the 2026 lineup include Chloe Burrows and Joanna Page. The show premieres on ITV1, STV, ITVX, and STV Player.
