In Strictly fabulous news, this week we’re joined by dance goddess, Oti Mabuse! Oti was beloved on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK, but she is also now head judge on the Irish version Dancing With the Stars - on top of that she is an author, presenter, podcaster and this week she has announced the wonderful news that she is pregnant with her second child! We heard all about Oti growing up in Pretoria and the delicious South African food her family would cook, being a destined dancer from age 4, competing in Blackpool from age 11, being best mates with gorgeous friend of the podcast Johannes Radebe, having more than double the invited guests turn up to her wedding, eating shark in Iceland, plus we discover the real meaning behind the name Oti! Thanks for popping over Oti, we can’t wait to try a traditional ’Seven Colours’ dish when we see you next. Oti’s latest book ‘Slow Burn’ is out now.

How are you, Mum?
Lennie Ware· Host0:14

It's ve- sorry. Do you think it's telepathic?
Jessie Ware· Host0:27
Gosh, it is very weird.
Lennie Ware· Host0:28
I don't know.

Does anyone else sync their clothes with their parents? Maybe you can let us know 'cause this happens a lot with Mum and I.
Lennie Ware· Host0:36
Does your daughter sync with you? No.
Jessie Ware· Host0:38
No, 'cause I'm not wearing horse T-shirts or- Or shorts. Yeah, I'm definitely not wearing them batty riders I tell you that she's wearing. Um- Do you know who I sync with? Who?

Oti Mabuse· Guest1:12

Jessie Ware· Host1:13
Oh, okay. Nice.
Lennie Ware· Host1:13

Jessie Ware· Host1:19
Maybe it is.
