Oti Mabuse and AJ Odudu were out in force for the Strictly Come Dancing stars for this year's Brit Awards.The professional dancer and last year's runner-up looked utterly stunning as they wowed on the red carpet for the 2022 show. As they continued to pose for the cameras on their way to the ceremony, Italian ballroom star Graziano di Prima joined the pair in an embossed velvet jacket as he opted for a fancy black tie style for the event.

It has been reported that Oti Mabuse is set to sign on for a second series as a judge on Dancing On Ice. The Strictly Come Dancing star has reportedly dazzled fans with her “warmth” and “positive energy” and become a firm favourite on the show. The 31 year old replaced John Barrowman as a judge after he was axed from the hit ITV skating show.

Oti Mabuse, 31, joined Dancing on Ice as a judge this year, taking over from John Barrowman.Today, the professional dancer took to Instagram to offer support to contestant Connor Ball, 25, after he was left bleeding live on the show when his stitches split.Connor was due to open the show but had to have his chin stitched up after taking a tumble.However, the stitches split during his routine with partner Alexandra Schulman, leaving him holding a tissue to his face during the judging.The Vamps star took to Instagram to share what had happened to him and to thank his fans for their support.In view of his 820,000 followers, he posted a video and pictures from his week in training.A post shared by Connor Samuel John Ball (@connorball)He penned: "Well, that was an interesting night… smashed my face off the ice then scored our highest score so far of the show!"But honestly thank you so much to everyone that jumped in to help so quickly, everyone on the show is bloody awesome and I’m lucky to be surrounded by great people."PS.The last photo is the shirt I SHOULD'VE worn before it got covered in blood."Oti was quick to the comments to wish the star the best after the incident.Oti commented: "Get well dude."His Dancing on Ice partner Alexandra said: "Connor Fall is NOT back."Honestly so proud of you partner, you smashed it, literally and you are a rockstar for getting back out there!"Takes so much courage!

Oti Mabuse considered her sister Motsi Mabuse one of her biggest inspirations after the latter left South Africa in the 1990s to embark on a career as a ballroom dancer in Germany.The 31-year-old has since created a successful career of her own, having starred on shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and German’s equivalent, Let’s Dance.She’s appeared as a dance captain on The Greatest Dancer, became a panellist on The Masked Singer last year, and most recently signed on to become a judge on ITV’s Dancing on Ice.But all of these achievements wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for Motsi who showed her sister that nothing was out of reach so long as you worked hard for it.In her column for Radio Times, Oti gushed about her sibling, saying: “She was the first black girl to go overseas and become a German champion.“Leaving South Africa in the 90s for Germany to be a Latin and Ballroom dancer was unheard of.

Oti Mabuse for the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing, explained how news about presenter AJ Odudu and her professional partner Kai Widdrington had left him “devastated” in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The rugby star, 38, has teamed up with Boots UK for the second series of the health and wellbeing podcast Taboo Talk, where he discusses the topic of chronic pain with host Vogue Williams.Ugo admitted to Express.co.uk that, while he had been deeply affected by the incredible routines performed by winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, he felt unsure of who would win at the time. “It’s so split, as it should be, when I looked at the quality of the final,” he explained. Ugo went on to share how saddened he was to learn that AJ and Kai would be unable to perform. AJ was forced to pull out of the show’s final back in December after she tore a ligament in her right ankle. The injury left her unable to walk at first and, while the star tried to persevere, medical professionals told her that she would not be able to compete. The DJ admitted that she was “deeply upset” at the time, adding that her experience with Kai was something that she would “treasure forever”. “It was a shame that AJ and Kai didn't get their moment,” Ugo said of the incident. “I mean, I was devastated for them, and I'm good friends with AJ. “I knew AJ before the show and I love her,” he added. AJ was due to appear in the live tour of Strictly Come Dancing early on this year, but sadly had to pull out while she is still suffering from her injury.Ugo went on to praise the other Strictly finalists, explaining that it felt like “so much more than dance”. Strictly Come Dancing’s final line-up was arguably the most diverse in the show’s

Ugo Monye explained to Express.co.uk how he “didn’t realise” that he could connect to dance in such an emotional way until Rose Ayling-Ellis’ Strictly performance with her partner Giovanni Pernice left him in tears.The rugby star, 38, has teamed up with Boots UK for the second series of the health and wellbeing podcast Taboo Talk, where he discusses the topic of chronic pain with host Vogue Williams.Ugo, who was paired up with Oti Mabuse for the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing, has recalled the iconic moment that Rose, 27, and Giovanni, 31, performed a dance that allowed audiences to enter Rose’s world.Rose, who was the show’s first ever deaf contestant, chose to feature a moment of silence during their pair’s performance to Symphony by Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson.Speaking about how “exposing” it can be to reveal your emotions as both a man and an athlete, Ugo admitted that Strictly Come Dancing left a lasting impression on him emotionally.“I knew that doing Strictly could be really exposing - and I don't mean physically, where I had my top off in a couple of the dances and dressed like Pink Panther and stuff like that,” he began.“But I remember going to the final, where I was sitting with Oti, and when I watched Rose dance - she had that kind of stop-traffic moment, iconic dance - I was crying. “I was crying watching it live and I'd seen it before,” Ugo confirmed.“I remember saying to Oti at the time, and to a few of my friends, that I didn't realise that dance can have an impact in the way in which it did on me that night. “So what I took from it was: it's really important to try different things that you know might not be familiar or might be out of your comfort zone, because you just don't know how they'll

Oti Mabuse, 31, recently made her debut on Dancing on Ice as a judge a few weeks ago, throwing her future on Strictly Come Dancing in the air. Oti has revealed in a new interview what she knows about her return to Strictly and revealed that the matter is "not for her to say".Oti has been on Strictly Come Dancing since she joined as a professional in 2015.She became the only professional to win the show for two consecutive years with Kelvin Fletcher and Bill Bailey.Metro.co.uk asked the dancer if she would be returning to this year's Strictly due to other commitments getting in the way.She replied: "I love how you put that question!"Everybody keeps asking me.

Oti Mabuse, 31, is a firm Strictly favourite, having won the show two times in a row with Kelvin Fletcher in 2019 and Bill Bailey in 2020. But despite her glowing reputation and infectious personality, she too has become victim of nasty backlash from online trolls.In a new interview, the dancer opened up about her experience with racial abuse at the hands of those who "can’t even face themselves in the mirror".She told Radio Times: " I've faced some backlash while performing on the show."I've never really spoken about it because I’ve tried for so long to think about it this way: I work on a show that ten million people love; if ten or 100 people aren’t nice to me, that is not representative of everyone else’s view."She went on: "It’s taken years for me to get that into my head."To get tweeted or receive a message in my inbox being racially abusive, or fat-shaming me, is horrible.

Dancing On Ice's newest judge Oti Mabuse may have forgotten where she was on Sunday night.

Strictly Come Dancing in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The rugby star, 38, has teamed up with Boots UK for the second series of the health and wellbeing podcast Taboo Talk, where he discusses the topic of chronic pain with host Vogue Williams.In Strictly Come Dancing last year, Ugo and his partner Oti Mabuse made it as far as week five before they landed in the bottom two and had to be sent home.Just a week before, however, the pairing had to sit out of the competition completely when Ugo's long-term back problems began to flare up and he was forced to go to hospital for a procedure.When asked about how he felt to miss a week of the live show, Ugo replied: “That was difficult. Because after week one, my back was in bits.“But you only ever get to do Strictly once and it was an unbelievable experience and you want to give the best version of yourself and I said that every week.“I just wanted to get better every week.

Oti Mabuse, who is probably best known for being a professional dancer on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing, took to Twitter today to wish her BBC colleagues luck as they permanently moved location.
