I Deserve To Be Here | AJ Odudu on Beauty, Confidence and Growing Up Different  @SundayTimesStyle
Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
AJ Odudu is one of the busiest women in British broadcasting — the co-host of Big Brother, a qualified personal trainer and sports nutritionist, and a woman who genuinely knows how to glow. Now, she joins Sarah Jossel at The Beauty Desk to talk honestly about beauty, confidence and learning to truly love yourself.
From the humble red net she swears by in the shower to her go-to sunscreen and star-shaped pimple patches, AJ shares her beauty ride-or-dies. She also opens up about growing up as the only black girl in Blackburn, painful hair experiences and why she wishes she’d embraced her natural afro far sooner.

Plus, Sarah asks her about exercise, rejection, her upcoming wedding plans and the mantra she repeats every time she walks into a room.

The Beauty Desk is sponsored by Beauty at M&S
