AJ Odudu, who is best known for co-presenting the Channel 5 reality show spin-off Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, opened up about the early years in her career. The TV presenter hit out at Hollywood actor Bruce Willis after she met the Unbreakable star.
The 33-year-old made the claims on ITV2 series Celebrity Karaoke Club during a candid chat about celebrities who turned out to be a “big disappointment”.
The Don’t Rock The Boat star revealed she attended a press junket where she was set to interview Bruce.
But the presenter claimed that she only had three minutes to speak with the Hollywood star.
AJ said that following their chat she “was not allowed to leave the building with the tape”.
“I’ll tell you all, Bruce Willis – absolutely appalling,” AJ commented.
“I was interviewing him in a press junket,” she continued: “They give you three minutes, and they vet all your questions – he knows what’s coming.”
According to AJ, Bruce “was basically sat there, going ‘next… next’ and got his publicist to tell me how much he hated me”.
AJ added that she was unable to leave the press junket with the completed footage.
She then said she had the recording of the interview “ripped up” in front of her, following which she was “barred from film junkets for three months”.
AJ explained that the incident took place at the start of her career back in 2009 when Bruce had starred in the film Surrogates.
Express.co.uk has contacted Bruce Willis’ representatives for comment.
Celebrity Karaoke Club is a reality series in which stars must gain popularity by performing the most entertaining renditions of famous songs.

Back in 2013, the Hollywood actor was branded “rude” for appearing disinterested during an appearance on The One Show.
The action star, who was promoting the sequel A Good Day to Die Hard, was forced to apologise and blamed jetlag for his behaviour.
Speaking to radio station XFM, Bruce blamed feeling tired on his boring appearance.
“I have to apologise. I didn’t get very many compliments about it,” he said at the time.
“They said ‘he was a little stale’. But I was so jet-lagged. I’m very sorry, you kids on The One Show.”
Elsewhere, AJ and Mo Gilligan have been confirmed to present the Big Breakfast as the chaotic show returns for Channel 4’s Black to Front day.
The Big Breakfast returns for a two hour special for the first time in 19 years after running from 1992 to 2002.
The programme will celebrate black contributors, to champion Black voices and stories, and the incredible Black talent that make, shape and star in British TV.
