‘AJ Live 2020’ will combine the best moments from the Strictly you know and love, intertwined with new energy packed choreography for all the family, from AJ and his pick of the best new dance talent in the UK.

AJ was born Alex Joseph Pritchard in Stoke On Trent, 24 years ago. 

Aged 12, AJ began dancing under the guidance of his father Adrian – a former world champion level dancer and BBC ‘Come Dancing’ professional.   

Partnering with Chloe Hewitt he went on to represent Great Britain around the world, winning the National Youth Championships 3 years consecutively between 2012 and 2014.  

2015 saw more accolades with the partnership winning the British Open Youth Latin Champions and the European Youth Latin Champions.

In 2013 AJ & Chloe after being approached by ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ made it to the semi-finals of the programme and won a whole new fanbase, performing in front of and impressing judges including Simon Cowell. 

In 2016 AJ was approached to join the cast of smash hit BBC 1 series ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, where he made it to the semi-finals with his first celebrity dance partner the Olympian Claudia Fragapane. 

2017 saw a similar success level and the continuation of his popularity when he partnered with former The Saturday’s singer Mollie King, again making it to the semi-finals.

2018 saw AJ branch out into other television and media work including the formation of a relationship with CBBC where he has presented ‘Blue Peter’ and hosted many other digital and online campaigns, hosting a show for BBC Radio 1, reaching the semi-finals of ‘Celebrity Masterchef’ and winning Channel 4’s ‘Celebrity Hunted’ for Stand Up To Cancer.
