Yahoo News Strictly's Oti Mabuse teases big news as fans predict show return
Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse has left fans guessing with a social media post.
Oti was a professional dancer on the BBC reality competition from 2015 to 2021, before leaving to become a judge on The Masked Singer UK and Dancing on Ice.
The dancer surprised Strictly fans on Tuesday (September 10) with an Instagram video showing a pair of legs strutting across a dancefloor.
Alongside the video, Oti wrote: "It’s happening… tomorrow."
Some of her followers immediately suggested Oti must be making a Strictly Come Dancing comeback, with one writing: "Yes, please tell me you're coming back to Strictly."
"Please please please be back on Strictly," another fan wrote.

Another popular theory among Oti's social media followers is that she will be releasing her own brand of designer dance shoes.
"Dance shoes by OM?" one fan guessed, with a second writing: "Your own brand of shoes?"
If Oti were to make a comeback to Strictly Come Dancing, it would presumably be in some new role since the professionals for this year's season have already been announced and the launch show has been filmed.
During her time as one of the Strictly pros, Oti won back-to-back seasons with celebrity partners Kelvin Fletcher and Bill Bailey.

Strictly made headlines earlier in the year when it was announced that Aljaž Škorjanec would be re-joining the professional ranks after three years away. Amy Dowden is returning to the pro squad this season as well, after missing last year as she underwent cancer treatment.
Oti's sister Motsi Mabuse remains on the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel, alongside head judge Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, and Anton Du Beke.
Strictly Come Dancing will return on Saturday, September 14 on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
