STRICTLY’S AJ Odudu introduced her dance partner Kai Widdrington to her family at the home of Blackburn Rovers yesterday after ‘confirming’ romance rumours.
The Lancashire lass took Kai to her hometown football club’s ground, Ewood Park, where they walked the touchline and posed in the dugout.
AJ worked in the stadium before finding fame as a TV presenter and relished the return.
She said: “I’ve bought Kai to Blackburn. You’ve made it, Kai. We’re at Ewood Park with some of my family.
“This is where I used to work, so it’s brilliant. I’m having a great time, are you having a great time?”
He smiled: “I’m loving it. Wanna kick a ball.”
The group then posed for a team photo with AJ and Kai on either side of her parents.
The visit was followed by a rehearsal in a Blackburn studio before they had bangers and mash at The Clogg and Billycock pub, with AJ praising their “proper gravy”.
