AJ was left stunned when Kai chose to hang out with his pal Giovanni Pernice – instead of rehearsing with her.
It all started off so well for Strictly star told her fans on Instastories: “Hello. It’s Pasa Doble day one. Are you excited?”
Then she panned to a shot of Gio on facetime with Kai and said: “He’s so excited that he’s just ditched me, for Giovanni.”
Giovanni beamed: “I’m so excited too.”
AJ has blown fans away with her routines with Kai from the get-go.
Strictly fans were fuming after the star was ‘robbed’ of a perfect 40 score as Craig Revel Horwood refused to give a 10.
The presenter and her pro partner Kai Widdrington put in a high energy performance of their Charleston.
The judges were thrilled by what they saw, with Motsi Mabuse saying: “I honestly feel so proud, proud of that dance there that you put on that dance floor, so authentic.”
Shirley Ballas was next and got all her paddles out, saying: “Let me look in here, I don’t think I have a paddle big enough, bold enough for you. That was absolutely off the chart.”
Anton Du Beke added it was “amazing” and “brilliant, before moving on to Craig, who said simply: “A-MA-ZING.”
When it came to the judges scores, viewers were furious when Craig issued a nine, while the other three judges pulled out their 10 paddles.
Taking to Twitter, one Strictly fan wrote: “Craig scoring AJ a 9???? PACK IT IN. Outrageous. Should have been a 10! #Strictly.”
Another added: “So upset that @AJOdudu and @Kaiwidd were robbed off a 40 because Craig Revel Horwood inexplicably (not for the first time) decided to underscore them. That was a wonderful Charleston #Strictly.”
A third tweeted: “AJ and Kai were robbed! That Charleston deserved a 40. Absolutely amazing!”
Meanwhile a fourth agreed, writing: “AJ SHOULD HAVE HAD 40!!! #travesty #Strictly”.
