AJ ODUDU has confirmed that she will NOT host the next series of Married At First Sight after landing her new Big Brother job.

AJ currently has her hands full with new Channel 4 show The Greatest Auction and will be fronting the return of the iconic show Big Brother when it returns on ITV later this year.
When asked if she's hosting MAFS this year, AJ exclusively told The Sun at the BAFTAs: "I can’t do it this year – I’m so sad about it. I love Married at First Sight.
"I'd love to host it again, I'm obsessed with that show but I don't know when that will happen."
She added: "Everyone has been so complimentary about Big Brother - I'm just enjoying it."

The latest version of Big Brother is set to begin in autumn 2023 and will be co-presented by AJ and Will Best, while MAFS usually kicks off in August, with a longer instalment of 36 episodes this year.
Last month AJ broke her silence after being named the new host.
She said: “This is not a drill! I’m beyond excited to finally be able to say that, I am hosting Big Brother!
“I couldn't be more ecstatic to front such an iconic show and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will Best is the icing on the cake. Get ready to be obsessed!

AJ will join forces with T4 presenter Will, who previously hosted talent show Dance Dance Dance alongside Alesha Dixon.
The Sun first revealed how AJ was finalising terms of her deal with ITV back in November.
She was chosen out of a legion of stars to host the show and beat off competition from presenters including Alison Hammond, Emily Atack and Vick Hope.
