S9 Ep7: AJ Pritchard on leaving Strictly, watching his brother on Love Island and staying motivated

On this week’s #MondayMile podcast, I take in the sunny sights of West-London with former Strictly Come Dancing professional and TV personality @aj11ace AJ’s competitive spirit led him from the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent to the ballroom of Strictly for four wonderful seasons. He’s also wowed the judges with his apple crumble on Celebrity MasterChef, and he took on the jungle in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!   We chat about his decision to leave Strictly, and why he felt it was his time to move on and say yes to other opportunities. He also opened up about his perspective on his brother @curtisprichard12’s Love Island experience, and the importance of having a good support system after leaving a reality show. We also talk in depth about how he stays happy and healthy, his fitness routine and his daily ‘eggs on toast, a cup of tea and crappy tv’ – a solid combo if you ask me. Thanks for chatting with me AJ! I loved hearing about your passion for learning and how you stay balanced and healthy - all things we love on the Monday Mile!   Check it out on your favourite podcast platform #mondaymilepodcast #ajpritchard #strictly #strictlycomedancing #curtispritchard #loveisland

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’ Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
