Oti Mabuse has delighted fans as she revealed her major career move - and it will take her away from TV screens and back to her roots. The dancer and TV star teased she had a big announcement on the way before revealing all.

On Tuesday (September 10) Oti, 34, took to Instagram with a video showing just her legs while wearing a pair of golden dancer’s heels. She could be seen pivoting several times and struck a pose before walking back out of frame.

In the caption, the former Strictly Come Dancing star wrote: "It’s happening… tomorrow," alongside rose emojis while 'tomorrow' was also brandished across a black camera right at the start of the clip.
