S9 Ep7: AJ Pritchard on leaving Strictly, watching his brother on Love Island and staying motivated

Monday Mile with Aimee Fuller

On this week’s #MondayMile podcast, I take in the sunny sights of West-London with former Strictly Come Dancing professional and TV personality @aj11ace

AJ’s competitive spirit led him from the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent to the ballroom of Strictly for four wonderful seasons. He’s also wowed the judges with his apple crumble on Celebrity MasterChef, and he took on the jungle in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

We chat about his decision to leave Strictly, and why he felt it was his time to move on and say yes to other opportunities. He also opened up about his perspective on his brother @curtisprichard12’s Love Island experience, and the importance of having a good support system after leaving a reality show. We also talk in depth about how he stays happy and healthy, his fitness routine and his daily ‘eggs on toast, a cup of tea and crappy tv’ – a solid combo if you ask me.

Thanks for chatting with me AJ! I loved hearing about your passion for learning and how you stay balanced and healthy - all things we love on the Monday Mile!
