ITV Dancing on Ice: Fans love Oti Mabuse 'stunning dress' as she gives Strictly update

Fans were quick to take to social media to praise dance supremo Oti Mabuse 'stunning dress' on the John Bishop Show with Rob Brydon on Saturday night.

And the star has made viewers even happier after confirming she could return to Strictly Come Dancing following her defection.

The 31-year-old hoofer shocked fans last month when it was revealed she was to be the fourth judge on the Dancing On Ice show.

Many viewers feared her move to the ITV programme would scupper her chance of returning to the Strictly ballroom, The Mirror reports.

Oti, though, has hinted she could yet return to the BBC flagship dance show, saying 2022 negotiations are yet to happen.

She told The Sun on Sunday: “Those conversations happen in February.

“It will have to be something we all talk about as a team.”

Oti has been quoted as saying TV presenter Steph McGovern inspires her and has mentored her.

She said: “I’m starting to present and I’m starting a new life. The person who inspires me the most is Steph McGovern.

“Sometimes when you come into the industry people do feel threatened. They do feel, ‘Oh you’re trying to take my spot.’ She didn’t. She saw something in me.

“Every time I do her show she goes, ‘We’re going to stay back and you’re going to do my bits and we’re going to practice.’ So she mentors me.

“It’s her show, her time. The whole crew does that, they wait.

“That for me is a hero, she’s an inspiration. When somebody comes into Strictly, I want to be that person who goes, ‘Let me show you the ropes.’

While watching last night's show dozens of fans took to social media to praise how 'stunning' the dancer looked.
