However, some fear Oti could quit Strictly after bagging another show following her Dancing On Ice role.

What else was said about Oti Mabuse’s new show
Oti’s new gig, Romeo & Duet, is set to be a musical match-making show.
Romeo & Duet will see singletons stand on a balcony and serenade potential love matches, but with a twist. The love matches won’t be able to see the singleton, just hear their voice.
Should the singleton manage to entice the potential love match down from the balcony, they’ll then go on a duet date. There they’ll have to learn a duet and perform against other couples in the hope of being crowned champions.

Oti also included a statement from Goat Films, the production company behind Romeo & Duet, as part of her Instagram post.
“Oti’s talent has been bouncing off our screens for years and we are delighted to be working with her,” they said.
“Here at Goat Films, we are over the moon to be the first production company that is putting her front and centre of her own prime time entertainment show, exactly where she deserves to be.”
2022 will be a busy year for Oti. Her first gig will be as a judge on Dancing On Ice when it returns on Sunday (January 16)!
Romeo & Duet will air later this year.
