Speaking about her upcoming Dancing On Ice performance, Oti said: "It's so great to be dancing again and I can't wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on for my ‘I Am Here UK Tour’ when we debut the show on Dancing On Ice this Sunday! Someone pinch me!
"Dance will always be my first love and this tour will be the end of the most amazing chapter of my life. My way to say thank you to everyone that has supported me on this journey."
She continued: "I’m so honoured
