Early Strictly 2021 frontrunner AJ Odudu has hinted that she's struggling to get to grips with her week 2 dance after a sensational start to her run on the show on Saturday.
The 33-year-old TV host blew her competition away with a blistering routine alongside pro partner Kai Widdrington in the BBC ballroom last week.
After the pair lit up the floor with a jive to DJ Fresh's Goldust, AJ earned an amazing first week score of 34 out of a possible 40.
Strictly host Tess Dal remarked: "As week one jives go...wowzer," before new judge Anton Du Beke said AJ and Kai's dance was as good a jive as he'd "ever seen" on the show, adding it was more "week nine than week one."

His fellow judge Motsi Mabuse told AJ and Kai: "For me, so far, this was the best dance of the evening without a doubt."
But, after being the toast of the ballroom this week, AJ, seen on TV this week as host of the Married at First Sight spin-off show Afters, has suggested that she's had a tough time with the dance she and Kai will perform on Saturday night - a Foxtrot to Tears Dry On Their Own by Amy Winehouse.
Posting a picture of her and former Dancing With The Stars Ireland pro Kai in the rehearsal studio, AJ wrote: "Dear Foxtrot, please can we be friends by Saturday? Lots of love, AJ."
Commenting underneath, Strictly co-star Judi Love told AJ: "But you still look amazing," while a fan posted: "’m sure you will have that lightbulb moment by Saturday and be best friends with the foxtrot."
Another of AJ's followers reacted: "You're going to be great, I'm sure! Honestly my mouth was hanging open on Saturday during your dance. I could have swallowing a fly, I wouldn't have noticed."
