The latest season has exploded back onto screens, packed with McIntyre’s signature banter and edge-of-your-seat excitement. However, a sneak peek at this Saturday’s episode reveals a heartbreaking blow for one star: AJ Odudu herself, who ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard in a shocking upset, as exclusively reported by OK! Magazine.

Joining the star-studded lineup of celebrity specialists are comedy king Ed Gamble, chat show legend Jonathan Ross, wildlife presenter Liz Bonnin, I’m A Celebrity alum Rev Richard Coles, hilarious Jo Brand, viral train enthusiast Francis Bourgeois, and of course, the ever-vibrant AJ Odudu from Big Brother.

But in a moment that stole the spotlight, AJ found herself dead last—despite her confident vibe. “Poor AJ has not been spun in,” quipped host Michael, as the results rolled in. Visibly stunned, AJ confessed, “I thought I smashed it.” She added with a mix of disbelief and humor, “I thought I was going to be up there with Ed and Jonathan, I did. I was like, come on, here we go.”

Michael, ever the gracious host, tried to soften the blow: “No, but you did… Well, you obviously have, but the strength of the wheel tonight has been outstanding.” It’s a reminder that even TV titans can face the unpredictable spin of fate!

Don’t miss the action—this Saturday’s episode airs earlier than usual at 8pm on BBC One, making way for the poignant Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance 2025, which kicks off at 9pm and honors the nation’s heroes during Remembrance weekend.

As the third installment in a thrilling 10-episode run, fans have seven more nail-biting shows to savor. Meanwhile, AJ bounces back strong on Big Brother this Friday alongside co-host Will Best, where another live eviction promises more drama and surprises. Will AJ turn this setback into comeback fuel? Stay tuned—the wheel keeps turning!
