“I did this cameo in a sketch for Saturday Night Takeaway and I appear in that with Davina McCall.

“Twitter was going mad with, ‘Oh my God, AJ has done the murder [in the Murder At Bigwig Manor sketch as part of the show] – and then  she’s going to murder Davina and that’s why she’s the new host’.

“I was like, ‘Oh, OK wow guys, you’ve really gone there’.

“Obviously, I’ve made no secret about how I would love to be considered to host such an iconic comeback, but who knows? You’ll just have to wait and see.”
