Masked Dancer's Oti Mabuse's bond with Davina
msn.comWelcome to Screen Sisters, a collection of conversations about what it means to be a woman working in television both in front of and behind the camera. As well as recognising their contribution to the industry, the series will also examine the highs and lows of working in media, how far television has progressed, and how much further it still has to go. Next up, we're speaking to The Masked Dancer judge and two-time Strictly Come Dancing champion, Oti Mabuse. If there's one word to describe Oti Mabuse's career trajectory, it would be "unique".
Raised alongside her two sisters Motsi and Phemelo in South Africa, she has since travelled the world as a championship dancer, before relocating to Europe and becoming a TV personality as a professional dancer on Germany's Let's Dance before the BBC's flagship series, Strictly Come Dancing.
In February 2022, shortly after a stint as a judge on ITV's Dancing On Ice, Oti announced she would be leaving Strictly after seven years and two consecutive glitterball wins.
Now, she's carving a career away from the ensemble cast and becoming a standout all on her own. Throughout all of this, by Oti's own admission, she was lucky to have a series of women championing her the entire way, defining not only herself and her self-esteem, but also her workplace environments and work ethics.
