Yesterday (Sunday, October 22) former Big Brother star Lateysha Grace revealed that she had been rushed to the hospital for “life-saving surgery”.

Lateysha shared news of her hospital dash with her one million followers on Instagram yesterday.

The star uploaded three posts to her story for her followers to see.

Fans leap to AJ Odudu’s defence

In other Big Brother-related news, AJ Odudu was defended by fans after her presenting style was slammed during Friday’s eviciton.

Friday (October 20) saw Zak become the second housemate to leave the house.

However, it was AJ’s presenting style that got some viewers talking. Some branded her delivery “awkward” and “unnatural”. Others said that she “clashes” with her co-host, Will Best.

“Every time I watch #BBUK I pray that AJ will get better at presenting but she just isn’t getting it…It’s almost like she and Will are presenting a different show,” one fan tweeted. “Hate to say it. But I finally got tonight why people complain about AJ being awkward. It’s very clear Will is the better half,” another said.

However, other fans were quick to defend the star. “Seeing a lot of AJ slander and it will NOT stand. Got it? Good,” one tweeted.

“Y’all need to back off on AJ! I bloody love her – even if she trips up on her words sometimes. And those outfits are… chef’s kiss,” another said.
