STRICTLY Come Dancing star AJ Odudu has been resting up at home this week after sustaining a nasty dancing injury.
Now – after she pulled out of the competition – there’s no doubt her stylish pad is where she will be getting cosy and watch the final show unfold.
AJ, 33, at least has an incredibly stylish abode to relax in during her rare down time now that her Strictly Come Dancing journey is over.
The star lives in a chic three-bedroom Victorian maisonette, which she proudly shows off on social media – and we can definitely understand why.
The pad has been kept simple with bright and airy white walls, but bright colours add a quirky touch.
AJ has added an attention-grabbing orange carpet to her hallway and staircase, and has a stand-out deep blue sofa in her living room – complete with bold cushions.
A second sofa is orange, positioned in front of a black and white gallery wall of framed photos, with on-trend hanging lights commanding attention just above.
There is also plenty of eclectic artwork throughout the house, with bright flowers, and plenty of indoor plants completing AJ’s signature decor.
Other exciting touches include a projector to host the perfect movie night, and a huge wardrobe that has plenty of space for AJ’s trendy style.
A wooden bar cart is perfect for entertaining, matching the rustic vibe of the rest of the house to a T.
AJ regularly uses her home as the backdrop to her Instagram photos, showing off plenty of her stunning outfits while posing in the space.
She wore a pretty green gown while sipping on some juice in her kitchen, showing off the slick interior with white marble-look counters, and tiled splashback.
AJ bought the house in 2019, excitedly sharing at the time: “Did a really adult thing and finally managed to buy a house. Took my dad round and reverted back to being a little girl.
“I’m proud. He’s proud. Let the new homeowner journey begin!”
Long-running Strictly favourite AJ announced her withdrawal from the competition today after she was pictured hobbling to her last rehearsal.
She said: “I’m deeply upset that I am unable to perform in the final due to a torn ligament in my right ankle.
“Learning to dance over the last 13 weeks has been an incredible honour and to do it alongside someone as special, patient and devoted as Kai [Widdrington] is something I’ll treasure forever.
“Thank you to the Strictly family for the experience, the medical team for trying to get me back on my feet and mostly, to everyone at home for watching and supporting. You’ve made this experience one to remember.
“Strictly Come Dancing has been a lifelong dream and I’m glad it came true. Good luck to my partners in dance. I will be cheering you on (on one leg!).”
