Strictly legend Oti Mabuse steps down

Oti devastated viewers when she announced her departure from the show after seven years earlier this year.

The two-time winning pro dancer – who lifted the Glitterball trophy two years in a row with Kelvin Fletcher and Bill Bailey – quit Strictly in Feburary.

She made a surprise return to the show last week when she appeared in the audience. It was also revealed that she had helped with the choreography of a group number.

At the time, fans rushed to share their joy at seeing Oti back.

“Queen Oti has returned! #Strictly #ITT #stagey #MusicalsWeek,” declared one person.

Another added: “So good to see Oti in the audience tonight, not to mention choreographing that opening routine #Strictly.”

Oti’s career dealt a blow

When she quit Strictly, Oti went on to front an ITV dating show. However, sadly for the star, it didn’t become a big hit with viewers.

Even before the final episode aired, it appeared that it was set to be its last.

A TV insider told The Sun: “This will be gut-wrenching for Oti as it was her first solo presenting gig since quitting Strictly to pursue new opportunities.

“Expectations were high for the programme as she is immensely popular with the public and Romeo & Duet was given a prime-time slot.”

Many viewers at the time were simply not feeling the dating series, despite Oti’s best efforts.

“I’m sorry but what a crock, please don’t waste any more money on a second series, it’s really not worth it,” ranted one fan on Twitter.

“This show is just terrible. Not for a Saturday nights,” said a second.
