Further career highlights include reaching the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2021, featuring in the February 2024 issue of British Vogue, co-hosting C4’s The Big Breakfast special reboot alongside Mo Gilligan – winning two RTS Awards and the Edinburgh TV Award for Best TV Presenters – and hosting The Bridge, which aired on HBO Max and Channel 4. AJ was the UK spokesperson at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, making history announcing the Jury votes live from Salford for the first time ever, and she also took part in the Late Queen’s ceremonious Platinum Jubilee Pageant.
