AJ Odudus Red Carpet Wardrobe Malfunction Shocks BAFTA

AJ Odudu appeared to suffer an awkward wardrobe malfunction as she hit the red carpet at the 2026 BAFTA Awards at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.

The TV personality, 38, stunned a silky grey gown with a daringly plunging neckline that reached all the way down to her naval.

AJ showcased her jaw-dropping figure in the racy look which featured a silver buckle detailing and was worn with a matching necklace. 

However while posing on the red carpet AJ's dress appeared to fall open and she quickly threw her hands to her chest to retain her modesty.

BAFTA host Alan Cummings thanked the audience for their understanding after I Swear's John Davidson let out involuntary shouts due to his Tourette's during the ceremony. 

I Swear details the life of campaigner John, now 54, who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at a time when little was known about the condition.

The neurological condition, characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics, affects roughly one in 100 children, according to NHS England. 

And addressing the audience at London's Royal Festival Hall, Alan continued to raise awareness for the condition after some strong language and involuntary shouts were heard from John. 

'Thank you for understanding,' said Alan. 

I Swear stars Robert Aramayo as campaigner John and depicts his younger years living in Glasgow, when he was first diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome.

The film is nominated in the Outstanding British Film category and Robert is also nominated for Lead Actor, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothee Chalamet. 

Peter Mullan, who plays Tommy Trotter in the film, was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, however he lost out to Sean Penn who bagged the accolade for One Battle After Another.  

John was awarded an MBE - for his tirelessly work over the years to heighten awareness of the condition.

Recalling the 'proudest' moment of his life when he was handed his MBE, John revealed that on the day, aside from swearing at the Queen, he experienced a compulsion to tell police officers at Holyrood Palace that he had 'a f***ing bomb!' as they routinely checked his vehicle.

He also shouted 'I'm a paedo!' as he walked down the corridor of the historic palace.

Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku was among the early winners as the BAFTAs on Sunday  as she won Best Supporting Actress

Mosaku, who is pregnant with her second child, thanked her husband, family and daughter from the stage, and said that her mother had 'beamed' her love at her 'to give me the freedom to make my choices.'

She said that playing priestess Annie in Sinners she had connected with a part of herself which she had 'dimmed as an immigrant trying to fit in.'

Ryan Coogler wrote the role of Hoodoo priestess Annie in Sinners especially for Mosaku, who was raised in Manchester and sang for 11 years in the Manchester Girls' Choir.

A Rada graduate, she was catapulted into the spotlight in the 2010 film I Am Slave, in which she played a Sudanese girl sold into slavery.
