Oti Mabuse for the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing, explained how news about presenter AJ Odudu and her professional partner Kai Widdrington had left him “devastated” in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The rugby star, 38, has teamed up with Boots UK for the second series of the health and wellbeing podcast Taboo Talk, where he discusses the topic of chronic pain with host Vogue Williams.Ugo admitted to Express.co.uk that, while he had been deeply affected by the incredible routines performed by winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, he felt unsure of who would win at the time. “It’s so split, as it should be, when I looked at the quality of the final,” he explained. Ugo went on to share how saddened he was to learn that AJ and Kai would be unable to perform. AJ was forced to pull out of the show’s final back in December after she tore a ligament in her right ankle. The injury left her unable to walk at first and, while the star tried to persevere, medical professionals told her that she would not be able to compete. The DJ admitted that she was “deeply upset” at the time, adding that her experience with Kai was something that she would “treasure forever”. “It was a shame that AJ and Kai didn't get their moment,” Ugo said of the incident. “I mean, I was devastated for them, and I'm good friends with AJ. “I knew AJ before the show and I love her,” he added. AJ was due to appear in the live tour of Strictly Come Dancing early on this year, but sadly had to pull out while she is still suffering from her injury.Ugo went on to praise the other Strictly finalists, explaining that it felt like “so much more than dance”. Strictly Come Dancing’s final line-up was arguably the most diverse in the show’s
