Turning to Oti, Holly asked: “Oti, what have we got to look forward to?”

Later in the show, Oti stepped out to perform.

She first danced with her husband, Marius Iepure, and was then held in the air by professional skaters.

The performance went down a treat with many fans however, some people thought Oti was going to be skating!

After seeing Oti without skates, many expressed their disappointment.

One said: “Not Oti saying ‘I’m nervous I’ve never danced on the ice before’ and she’s on a stage on the ice.

One tweeted: “I’m a little disappointed that Oti is not on skates.”
