AJ Odudu has left her role as a host of Big Brother spin-off Bit On The Side after just one series, bbspy can confirm.

A spokesperson for Channel 5 informed us this morning that the 25-year-old presenter and show producers ‘mutually agreed’ to her depature.

The news comes after it was announced that Iain Lee and Carol McGiffin have bagged roles on its psychology-themed sister programme Bit On The Psych, which AJ used to front.

Professional snooker player Ronnie O’Sullivan is reportedly tempted to become a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother 2014.

The 37-year-old sportsman – who has won five titles at the World Championships, most recently this year – has turned down big-money offers to appear in previous series of the show.

However, according to the Daily Star, he may now change his mind after seeing fellow snooker star Steve Davis on the current edition of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

Ronnie’s girlfriend, ex-Footballers’ Wives actress Laila Rouass, is said to have urged him to take part – while he has apparently ‘admitted’ that he’d rather experience the Big Brother house than slum it in the Australian jungle.

However, if he does join the next Celebrity run – airing in January – it could affect his preparations for the 2014 World Championships, which are due to take place in the Spring.

Ronnie is known to be a fan of Big Brother and has been an audience member on Channel 4 spin-off show Big Brother’s Big Mouth.

Awwwww poor AJ - I loathed her at first but she kind of grew on me. I think she's a very 'marmite' presenter though and I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't return.

They know that they're safe  with Carol love her or hate her (personally I love her) she has a proven track record in live TV presenting which AJ was sadly lacking.

Media personality and former glamour model Katie Price has become the first name to be linked with Celebrity Big Brother 2014.

The 35-year-old was previously offered places in either of this year’s series of the show, but bosses eventually dropped her from their hitlist for January’s winter edition in favour of her close friend Rylan Clark.

She later became unable to participate in the summer edition after becoming pregnant with her third son Jett, who was born eight weeks prematurely in August.

Now, according to The Mirror, Katie is finally set to enter the house, as she’s close to signing a six-figure deal that would make her one of the highest-earning housemates in Celebrity Big Brother history.

A source told the newspaper: “It might surprise people that a star as big as Katie would consider Celeb BB. But it seems she’s keen and it would be a great coup for Channel 5.

“It looks like it could happen this time. Katie’s a colourful ­character, opinionated and still one of the most recognisable faces in the land. She’d be a ­massive hit.”

Katie has previously revealed that she’d be up for doing CBB, writing on Twitter: “I’m not doing big brother despite the rumours. But I wouldn’t say no haha haha – I have nothing to hide.”

Marcus Bentley has revealed that he’s signed up to remain the narrator of Big Brother UK for two more years – despite Channel 5 only having the rights to the show until the end of 2014.

The iconic Geordie voice shared the good news with fans on his Facebook page earlier today, writing: “Great news – just agreed my next two years on Big Brother!”

His post suggests that the long-running reality format will remain on our screens in 2015, although it is currently only contracted for one more year.

Channel 5 announced last April that it would keep Big Brother until 2014, in a deal that is due to expire after the fifteenth civilian and fourteenth Celebrity series next summer.

The broadcaster is yet to officially confirm whether it will extend its arrangement with producers Endemol – but it has recently hinted that a renewal is on the cards.

Speaking at August’s Edinburgh Television Festival, C5′s director of programmes Ben Frow said: “I like to think that it’s got a lot more in it and that we will continue to surprise people and evolve it. I think there’s a good few years in it yet.”

Meanwhile, Hertsmere Borough Council recently granted Endemol permission to keep the Big Brother house standing at Elstree Studios until at least 2018.

Faints 

Tbh I can't see Ronnie doing CBB just yet as he's still doing ok in his snooker career, he has said before that his favourite reality show is CBB and I think it would suit him better than the jungle (starts thinking of bum watch in lycra) 

AJ, the most dire presenter since Zezi, has gone - yay!

Carol McGiffin is joining the CBB team - booooo! 

Katie Price as a HM - I blooming hope not!

this ^^

Agree 

I utterly loathe Katie Price-tag and hope she never dis-graces the CBB house.

Get Nigella in there !!!!

And at least one from GoggleBox

Oh yes from Gogglebox, the posh couple would be great, or the two girls who like their food!

Nigella

Kat Slater

Margi Clarke

Marc Almond

Jonny Ball

Yip them too  (the guys in photo not what you just posted) 

Please nobody from Essex 

Yay! MrsH. Back again and wetting our palettes. 

Could be good this one then! 

(Would someone pick Aimee off the floor? Looks messy.) 

Awwwww Aimee - that'll be nice for you .........maybe. I'm always a bit scared if someone I like goes in - just in case they turn out to be an a*sehole.

Please  don't let Katie Price in.

Nigella eh? - after she's had a touch of rehab I hope...

(allegedly)

That's it, just step over me 

With just weeks to go until Celebrity Big Brother is back on our screens, we're very excited to unveil the brand new eye for 2014.

Oooooooooooh

No AJ for a second series?   well im shocked.

Oh god, not Margi Clarke.

Katie Price can bugger off and look after her kids instead

Leave us alone

  more so seeing as one of her kids is disabled.

I liked her ...

She has a disabled child, she should be available to look after him, not messing about in the BB house, just my opinion.

I find your comments out of order no way I AM ON K price's sde but this Is out of order   NEVER post on here again                                                                                        

But she is a cow though Frodo

Gotta be a case a whisky   

And a straw.

She said herself she doesn't take him to school and her mum packed in work to look after him and she has a nanny and a cleaner, so she won't be missed 

Listen trying to de register 

Kate Price may or not be a cow (your opinion) I have never liked her 

she Is a good mum , my sympathies have always been with Pete yet he Is with someone young enough to be his daughter ...I'm trying to balance things out .

Can someone else have a different approach before they leave this forum cos of folks like you  driving them away 

He nearly drove me away four times Frodo   

He's as pissed as a fart   

Ignore for two or three days but DO NOT dereg!   

Have I said something outrageous here, about Katie Price? 

Im not trying to drive anyone away...Frodo, please don't be silly, I loves ya.

No Saint is.

At 86 in 30 limit.

I hope they throw the book at him
