Despite her devastating early exit from Strictly before last weekend’s final (Saturday, December 18), AJ seemed to be in good spirits after the show.

In a photo posted on Instagram, AJ is seen wearing a green faux fur coat and a silver mini dress. The star’s foot is strapped up in a big boot, and yet she still looks glamorous as she leans on her crutches.

Fans of Strictly were loving AJ and John’s friendship during this year’s series. Many were keen to let the pair know they want more of them on their screens in the future.

“The BEST friendship this series! So glad you found each other!” one fan wrote.

“Our new presenting duo I wanna see you both on everything,” another said.

“You two need your own show,” another fan said.

“Could build quite a team,” one followed replied. “Her and Rylan [Clark] presenting, John being resident chef and Kai [Widdrington] the fitness/dance teacher. C’mon BBC, sign them up!”

“Would love to see you two dance together,” one of AJ’s followers said.

What next for AJ?

AJ was forced to pull out of the Strictly final the day before it went ahead. The 33-year-old presenter was rightly devastated at having to withdraw but was full of praise for her dance partner, Kai Widdrington.

“It’s just been an absolute pleasure dancing with you every single week so thank you,” she told Kai on It Takes Two on Friday (December 17).

Following her exit, many fans called for AJ to be given another shot on the show next year. And it seems they may have gotten their wishes!
