AJ Odudu takes a little nap when she gets Strictly jitters

OHMYGOSSIP — AJ Odudu takes “a little nap” whenever she has ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ jitters.
The 33-year-old presenter – who is partnered with Kai Widdrington – has suffered with her nerves and has been feeling the “pressure” of competing on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show, despite having topped the leaderboard.
She told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “It’s one of those things where you feel like you are confident and then you get into the process and all of the self-doubt seeps in.
“Especially at the beginning of the week when you are given a new dance, you’re thrown completely out of your comfort zone.
“You just don’t think you’re capable. You just don’t know it’s possible. I definitely do feel nervous and then I feel the pressure and start to tremble.
“But there’s something magic about the ‘Strictly’ ballroom, that as soon as your name is called, you get that tingly sensation and it suddenly becomes exciting, even though the whole build-up to the moment is really nerve-racking.”
And whenever she is feeling too overwhelmed, AJ takes a catnap to “switch off”.
Asked what she does to steady her nerves, she replied: “It’s nothing exciting, I have a nap. I need 10 minutes to just really switch off.
“I feel like everyone’s so full of beans. And they think that I’m just always full of beans, but I’m like, ‘I need a little lie down’. I need to be still, quiet with my eyes closed.”
Despite her anxiety, AJ has insisted she has become “more confident” since starting her ‘Strictly’ journey.
She added: “I feel more confident in the sense that I feel a bit more limitless.
“I feel like, ‘Wow, look at what hard work really does, look at what can be achieved in such a short period of time’.
“I feel confident in that respect and I feel confident in Kai as well.
“It’s amazing that he’s trusting me with such beautiful choreography and I know that he wouldn’t give me anything to do unless he thought I could do it. So I’m really getting a good vibe and a good energy from this.”
