TV personality and 2021 Strictly Come Dancing star, AJ Odudu, has shared a health update with her fans on Instagram.
AJ was forced to pull out of the dancing contest’s final last month and is missing out of the live tour after tearing a ligament in her ankle.
The 33-year-old damaged her right ankle during training in December days after she and professional partner, Kai Widdrington, got their first 40 mark.

Yesterday (Wednesday 12 January), she took to her Instagram stories to tell fans how the recovering process is going.
AJ posted a series of clips of herself having physiotherapy on her damaged foot.
She added the caption: “Hello!!! I’ve been getting so many lovely messages to see how I am. Thank you! You’re all so blummin kind.
What did AJ Odudu do to her feet?
“I’m still on mission Happy Feet.
“I’ve sped these vids up as I’m moving at snails pace, but regardless I’m actually making really good progress and have been working on mobility and strengthening exercises for my toes and ankle.
“I don’t wanna share much about this tbh because it still makes me all emosh and besides…we can’t just be looking at my feet, they’re shy.
“Anyway just letting you all know that I’m AOK, promise. I’ve even got some good news to tell ya tomorrow.”
AJ released a statement last month following reports that she would miss out on dancing in the final.
She said: “I’m deeply upset that I am unable to perform in the final due to a torn ligament in my right ankle. Learning to dance over the last 13 weeks has been an incredible honour and to do it alongside someone as special, patient and devoted as Kai is something I’ll treasure forever.
