STRICTLY star Oti Mabuse will "leave the show" according to reports - after replacing John Barrowman on Dancing On Ice. The professional dancer was yesterday announced to join the ITV ice panel alongside fellow judges Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in January 2022.

The 31-year-old will replace John, who had featured on the skating competition panel since 2019 after appearing as a contestant in 2006.

Now Oti, who has won Strictly twice since she joined in 2015, could walk away from the BBC juggernaut following the huge signing.

As reported by Metro, celebrity PR and publicist Harry Rutter predicts a big money contract will draw Oti to ITV after six years at the Beeb.

Ben Croll “I asked myself, why was it so difficult to name a Quebecois film from the past 25 years that treated sexuality as its central theme?” Côté told Variety. “Why could France foster directors who filmed the human body in direct and unselfconscious ways, and Quebec could not? Were Quebecois more prudish than others?”And so the Montreal-based filmmaker started on his 14th feature, which follows three so-called “hypersexual” women, plagued with troubled histories and fragile mental states, as they participate in a month-long therapy retreat. But as he developed the script with a local sexologist, the filmmaker saw potential traps in two very different directions.“The film could never be meant to judge,” Côté explained.
