Katya Jones has suggested Oti Mabuse is set to quit ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 30-year-old star has hinted that Oti, 29, is poised to walk away from the BBC show later this year, after she impressed as a judge on ‘The Greatest Dancer’.
Katya said: "We’ve got respect for everybody so we try not to fish for anything. But you can see with Oti doing her thing, you know?
"You expect people to have other projects and whatever she decides, we’ll be there."
TV bosses have been impressed with Oti’s stint on ‘The Greatest Dancer’, and she’s reportedly being eyed for more television work.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "She was a real hit with viewers on ‘The Greatest Dancer’ and that has opened up a lot of new opportunities.
"She has a nice, easy way on camera, as fans saw when she guest-presented ‘The One Show’. It’s an exciting time for her."
Meanwhile, Kevin Clifton recently revealed he quit ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ because he didn’t want to be the oldest dancer on the programme.
The TV star – who won the popular show in 2018 with his celebrity partner Stacey Dooley – explained: "At age 23 it would be different. I’d look at it and think, ‘I can stay on this for the next ten or 15 years’, but at 37 years old I was thinking, ‘I’m going to turn 38’.
"If it’s going to be similar to what I have already done I don’t see myself doing it into my forties.
"I have got so many other interests and I thought, ‘I’ll have to leave at some point.’"
