Oti Mabuse returning to Strictly Come Dancing

Gorka Marquez, Anton Du Beke and Oti Mabuse will all return for the next series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The show favourites are among the line up of professionals who will be hitting the dancefloor later this year, with producers also confirming AJ Pritchard, Aljaž Škorjanec, Amy Dowden, Dianne Buswell, Giovanni Pernice, Graziano Di Prima, Janette Manrara, Johannes Radebe, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Luba Mushtuk, Nadiya Bychkova, Nancy Xu, and Neil Jones will be back on the programme.
However, it has not yet been confirmed which dancers will have celebrity partners and who will be part of the ensemble.
BBC bosses are delighted to have the dancers – including reigning champion Oti, who lifted the 2019 trophy with Kelvin Fletcher – back on board.
Sarah James, Executive Producer, BBC Studios, said: "It’s wonderful to welcome back so many talented individuals within this year’s line-up of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional dancers.
"They are each at the top of their game and as a cast are simply incredible. We can’t wait to see what magic they will bring to the ballroom this year.
"’Strictly’ 2020 promises to be an unforgettable series, with more exceptional choreography and world-class dancing."
Kate Phillips, Controller of BBC Entertainment, added: "We are very proud of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and our professional dancers.
"They are undoubtedly in a class of their own and they’ll be back in force this autumn to put our class of 2020 through their paces, providing another series of unmissable TV!"
The line-up confirmation comes a few days after show favourite Kevin Clifton announced he wouldn’t be back for the 2020 series.
Last year, Gorka and Graziano were not assigned celebrity partners, while Neil, Johannes and Luba all competed for the first time.
