ITV Celebrity Big Brother fans have flooded social media with demands hosts AJ Odudu, 37, and Will Best, 40, be dropped from the series.

The presenting duo were met with complaints by some fans for their conduct during the hotly anticipated finale on Friday night.


Odudu and Best had their hands full during the final episode of the series, as they undertook the exit interviews for five evictions.

Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, and singer Chesney Hawkes, 53, were the first to be booted.

Donna Preston, 38, fan-favourite JoJo Siwa, 21 and Danny Beard, 32, were then evicted.

Coronation Street icon Jack P Shepherd, 37, was ultimately crowned the winner of the series.

While some fans took issue with the speed at which the housemates were moved out, others were distracted by the interviewing style of Odudu and Best.

Taking to social media, viewers shared their disappointment with the host’s apparent overexcitement and habit of talking over each other, with some even calling for them to be axed.

“Please can we have new hosts next series?? These two are awful, shouty & speaking over each other whilst stumbling through their lines #CBBUK,” one pleaded on X.

Another despaired: “AJ & Will are awful at interviewing. They constantly talk over each other & over those they’re interviewing #CBBUK”

“Aj and Will don't seem to ask the right questions! Surely they can press the housemates for more info instead of asking the bare minimum! #CBBUK #CelebrityBigBrother,” a third questioned.

A fourth fumed: “PLEASE SOMEONE PUT AJ AND WILL OUT OF THEIR MISERY - we need new hosts for next year. Rescue them from this car crash double interview, it’s impossible for two hosts to try to manage this. #CBBUK”

Other viewers also demanded finalist Danny Beard replace the hosts for the next series.

“Oh please #CBBUK make it happen! Get rid of AJ and Will and have Danny Beard to host,” one begged.

Another wrote: “Oh YES Danny Beard presenting Big Brother or Late and Live would be so gooood! if you won’t give us Rylan, bring Danny in to replace Will, they’ve had long enough to prove themselves but AJ and Will are not the duo ITV think they are #CBBUK.”

Not all were up in arms about Odudu and Best, with one fan sharing: “Thought they did well tonight.”

The latest complaints are nothing new for the series, with the hosting duo facing criticism during last week’s triple eviction.

Best was accused of “spoiling” the surprise of the early multiple evictions to the housemates.

In what most viewers assumed to be accidental slips, the host told the stars that there were yet more evictions to come on the night following Angelica Bell’s exit.
