Oti Mabuse's show Romeo and Duet 'to be axed' by ITV

Oti Mabuse's new TV show 'Romeo and Duet' is reportedly set to be axed by ITV after just one series.

The 31-year-old star left her role as a professional dancer on 'Strictly Come Dancing' earlier this year and returned to screens as the host of the dating/talent show which features contestants looking for love using their singing skills.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "This will be gut-wrenching for Oti as it was her first solo presenting gig since quitting Strictly to pursue new opportunities.

"Expectations were high for the programme as she is immensely popular with the public and 'Romeo and Duet' was given a prime-time slot. Rubbing salt in the wound is the fact that the series hasn’t even finished — the final episode airs this Saturday."

The Sun reports the decision was made due to a slump in ratings, which reportedly bottomed out at 890,000 viewers for the last episode.

An ITV spokesperson told the publication that "no decision has been made" on the future of the show.

The news comes after Oti suggested she might not be done with 'Strictly'.

The 31-year-old professional dancer quit the BBC ballroom show earlier this year after seven years, and has since gone on to be a judge on rival shows 'Dancing on Ice' and 'The Masked Dancer'.

However, the South African choreographer has seemingly suggested she hasn't ruled out returning to 'Strictly'.

She said: "'Strictly' has been everything to me and has given me this amazing platform that I have. No, I’m not done - it still has a place in my heart."
