It comes after the star surprised fans by quitting from Strictly in April, revealing he has ambitions to be bigger than Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
The choreographer also insisted he decided to leave the competition series after four years so he could ‘have his life back,’ after struggling with 18-hour days and months of training for each series.
On hoping to emulate TV veteran Ant and Dec’s success, AJ told The Sun: ‘We would love to be that presenting duo, like them.

‘We want to bring our brand — that all-singing, all-dancing Saturday night style of family entertainment, a bit like Bruce Forsyth.
‘It took up six months of my life, some days I would work 18-hour days because I was dancing and choreographing. I didn’t have a life and I wanted to be able to do more.’
He also confessed he was forced to turn down other work that would interfere with the show in the past, and admitted he was relieved to finally share his departure after contemplating the decision for a year.
