Newly-engaged AJ Odudu flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a TINY yellow bikini before cosying up to hunky fiancé Peter Gibson amid loved-up US getaway
Newly-engaged AJ Odudu looked happier than ever amid her 'romance tour' of the US with fiancé Peter Gibson this week. The Celebrity Big Brother host, 37, took to her Instagram with a slew of snaps after MailOnline exclusively revealed her partner was the Idaho born art director. AJ flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a tiny yellow bikini as she posed up a storm during the couple's beach day, before slipping into a plunging brown gown which she wore with her huge diamond engagement ring for a romantic boat trip. Peter, who refrains from showing his face on social media, captained the vessel while the stunner wrapped her arms around him. While in Seattle the lovebirds also attended a Mariners baseball game and sipped on beer with AJ opting for a pair of skimpy leather hot pants. She captioned the post: 'The romance tour'. Peter popped the question last month and AJ's engagement ring is reportedly worth an estimated £14,500 according to The Sun's expert. Zack Stone, from UK retailer Steven Stone, told the publication: 'At its heart is a 1.5-carat cushion-cut diamond, known for its romantic, pillow-like shape and vintage charm. Last month AJ announced she was engaged to a mystery man after sharing images of her diamond ring and the couple together, captioning the loved-up post: 'Hiya love.' Pete, who was pictured backstage with AJ as she filmed Celebrity Big Brother this year, currently works at brand agency Wieden + Kennedy, who also have offices in London and Mexico as well as the Big Apple. Pete, who's previously worked as a graphic designer for Apple and an art director at Hypebeast, as they start to plan their nuptials. It's believed the former Strictly star has been taking secret trips to New York to spend quality time with Pete, but the couple agrees that for the long-term, it makes sense for them to be London based. A source revealed: 'AJ prefers her romantic relationships to be private but when it came to her engagement, she was so happy and excited, she wanted to share the news with her followers. 'Pete, living in New York, worked out perfectly for AJ because they were able to date and get to know each other away from prying eyes plus he doesn't regularly use social media. 'He's now planning a move to the UK so that he and AJ can live together and properly set themselves up for the future. 'With many strings to his bow as an art director and creator, it made more sense for Pete to relocate, especially given AJ's career has taken off to new heights in the UK. 'They're both so happy and can't wait to make their relationship official by getting married.' The announcement of AJ's engagement came out of the blue because her fanbase were unaware she had a boyfriend. But AJ has been posting about Pete for years, as he attended group work out sessions with her and accompanied the star behind the scenes as she presented Celebrity Big Brother in April. Although, AJ, who also presented The Big Breakfast reboot and Channel 4's The Bridge, keeps her love life under wraps, she was previously linked to her former Strictly pro partner, Kai Widdrington. MailOnline has contacted AJ's representative for comment. AJ competed with Kai on the 2021 series of Strictly but was forced to quit the competition just days before the final after suffering from an injury. She was one of the frontrunners to win the show but after tearing a ligament in her right ankle, had to withdraw from the final, leaving Rose Ayling-Ellis to triumph. At the time AJ said she was 'deeply upset' that she was unable to perform. Proving her love for dance remains, AJ shared a video of her being twirled by Pete on Instagram this week alongside a thread of happy family pictures following a celebration of the pair's engagement. AJ also posted another intimate black and white snap of the couple as she laughed in Pete's arms while in the past 24 hours, she added an Instagram story showcasing her diamond ring over breakfast.
