BIG Brother host AJ Odudu secretly faced a 'hilarious' wardrobe malfunction in her sexy Big Brother launch catsuit.
The presenter’s blue PVC catsuit was so skintight she had to slide into it using lube and battle static between the slinky one-piece and her hair.

Stylists had to repeatedly take to the stage with a hairdryer to blow-dry her legs to beat the frizz.
But it failed to put off the new host, 35, who launched ITV’s new show alongside Will Best, 38.
They ushered 16 new contestants into the largest Big Brother house to date — although the cast promptly moaned about the lack of alcohol.
But bosses warned the live audience that any groans from them would be unacceptable.

A crowd whistleblower told The Sun: “AJ looked amazing but that catsuit gave her a load of strife.
"First, a producer said she had to be lubed up to get into it and then her extra long wig kept getting caught on the legs with static.
“Her stylists had to keep coming on stage with a hairdryer to stop the wig clinging to her.
“It was hilarious for us but less so for her.

“Then, all that hot air on her legs started causing air to escape, essentially making fart sounds, and AJ was, like, ‘It’s not me’.
“Also, they told us at the beginning, ‘It’s 2023, we want it to be celebratory’, so we weren’t allowed to boo anyone like in the old days.”
It was a different story for the 16 housemates, who were met with just two bottles of prosecco and some mocktails.
The provision of alcohol has been a hot topic of speculation after ITV unveiled a rigorous duty of care protocol.
Glaswegian dancer Olivia, 23, remarked: “Did they think two bottles of prosecco was gonna last?”
After the housemates sipped the mocktails and decided they contained no booze, youth worker Hallie, 18, declared: “I need a drink!”
Dental therapist Chanelle, 29, said the thing she was going to miss most was the pub.
The housemates’ big entry was filmed on Saturday night, so some scenes might not have made the final cut for last night’s pre- recorded launch show.
Locals wrote on Twitter that a boat of rowdy fans travelled up the adjacent Grand Union Canal during the session and could be seen causing havoc.
But viewers at home were delighted at the return of the reality show.
With a global cast including beauty queen-turned-banker Noky, 26, the group is from a wide variety of backgrounds, jobs and ages.
It also includes the plucky Dylan, 39, who wears a prosthetic blade-style leg after losing his limb in a motorcycle accident.
