OHMYGOSSIP — Oti Mabuse “burst into song and dance” when she landed her ‘The Masked Dancer’ role.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro admitted she started singing ‘Defying Gravity’ from ‘Wicked’ when she was told she had got the job as a judge on the ITV dancing competition.
She said: “When I got the call I broke out in song and dance, I think I sang something from ‘Wicked’, ‘Defying Gravity’.
“I was flying a scarf around going ‘I made it!’ It was the best call of my life, I was so grateful to be here and on the panel.”
Oti will be joined by fellow judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan as they try to work out the identity of the celebrity contestants on the show.
However, Oti has insisted her dance background has not helped her when it comes to guessing the masked dancers, as she has made some wild predictions.
She explained: “Do you know what’s happening? Everyone knows Jonathan [Ross] comes up with these really out of character guesses, I’m the one who’s doing it now.
“I mentioned one person and the audience looked at me and burst out laughing, going, ‘That’s so crazy’. I might be right, but my suggestions are insane!”
Oti recently revealed the strategy she’s adopted in order to identify the contestants.
She said: “I’ve got many names written down.
“I am that one who overwrites names but then I am also still guessing, watching every move, having a good time when I am writing and still noticing – oh they jumped! Oh, but the names!
“If I think it’s a soccer player I will name every single player in the whole world and the producers are like ‘Oti, could you please stick to one or two’ but I can’t!”
