Professional dancer Oti Mabuse has made a surprise return to Strictly Come Dancing three years after she left the series. Oti, who is the sister of Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse, was a pro dancer on the show between 2015 and 2021, when she left to pursue other TV roles.
She is now best known for Dancing On Ice, where she appears as a judge on the series alongside Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill, and Ashley Banjo.
Oti returned to Strictly on Tuesday 5 November, appearing on the spin off show It Takes Two as a guest host. During the show she passed judgement on last weekend’s dances, commenting on what some of the celebrity dancers needed to improve upon as well as the best performances from Saturday night’s show.
