Vernon Kay co-star reveals why she couldn't go on holiday with him
TV presenter AJ Odudu has revealed the one reason why she wouldn't go on holiday with her much-loved co-host, Vernon Kay.
AJ, who is known for her roles on Big Brother's Bit on the Side and Married at First Sight: Afters, explained her reasoning to Alan Carr during a new episode (September 16) of his 'Life's a Beach' travel podcast.
It was reported this week that AJ has landed a role on a new prime-time TV show, M&S: Dress The Nation, alongside the former Family Fortunes star. AJ will help to find the high street chain’s new designer from 10 contestants.
However, it isn't the first time that AJ has worked with Vernon, something that was revealed when Alan asked her what it was like working with him and if she could enjoy a holiday with the BBC Radio 2 star.

I'm gonna say; I absolutely love working with Vernon - worked with him before on Comic Relief, so it was amazing to partner with him on this amazing show."

AJ stepped into the limelight on Strictly Come Dancing (Image: Jeff Spicer/Getty Images for the NTA's)She continued: "We had such a laugh. It was so much fun, but I think he's better holidaying with, you know, the one and only Tess Daly. Yes, do you know what I mean? I think...good lad."
The 36-year-old presenter previously worked as a personal trainer but stepped out into the limelight when she secured a spot with Kai Widdrington on Strictly Come Dancing.
Sadly, a torn ligament in her ankle meant she couldn't compete in the final. She told the Mail On Sunday’s YOU magazine that she was "crying on live TV for months every time someone mentioned it".
However, it wouldn't be the end of her showbiz career as she went on to present the ITV reboot of Big Brother with Will Best. Dress the Nation will be her third major prime time show.

Speaking about the show with Vernon, AJ revealed: “I literally used to work in M&S on the high street of Blackburn town centre, so I am having a real full circle moment with all of those things combined."
