<p>The sports presenter discussed the Black Lives Matter movement in a video posted on social media.</p>
<p>He added that he has not “<i>really spoken about racism in the past and maybe that’s a bad thing</i>”.</p>

<p>“<i>I have been lucky in my life and my career that I have been given opportunities, but maybe that’s because I felt like me getting opportunities was job done,</i>” Oduba said.</p>
<p>“<i>I can tell you that in my workplace to this day it feels strange if I see another black face in the room and that is wrong.</i></p>
<p><i>“I can’t fathom the thought that my son will grow up in a world where we are seeing what we are seeing today.</i></p>
<p><i>“I can’t live in that fear because we have to all pull together because it’s no good me living in that fear.”</i></p>
<p>He said that at the moment there is “<i>incredible potential to start to make a change</i>” because of the traction gained by anti-racism campaigns on social media.</p>
<p>“<i>You have to hope that this is going to effect some kind of change,</i>” he added.<br />
Oduba said the death of African-American George Floyd, who died during an arrest after a white police officer knelt on his neck, was “<i>absolutely heartbreaking</i>”.</p>
<p>The Strictly Come Dancing winner also said he felt he had been racially profiled when he was travelling to the US for a holiday in 2012.</p>
<p>He said he was taken to a room in the airport “<i>that you could probably only describe as being filled with people of minority ethnic backgrounds</i>”.</p>
<p>He added: “<i>Literally there wasn’t a single white face in there, apart from the people asking me questions.</i>”</p>
