Oti used guru to save couple

SHE has replaced Cilla Black as TV’s star matchmaker, but Oti Mabuse has revealed that she called on Oprah Winfrey’s favourite guru when her own marriage hit the rocks. Oti, host of ITV’s new Saturday night dating show Romeo & Duet, hired US life coach Tony Robbins to rescue her relationship. But she probably didn’t expect to be made to walk over hot coals as therapy. Oti, 31, said her success on Strictly Come Dancing and the fame that followed triggered difficulties in her marriage to Romanian dancer Marius Lepure, 39, pictured left. Recognising the threat to her happiness, Oti called in Mr Robbins, inset, – who charges €480 a session. Oti said: ‘He said at the end we would walk over fire. It felt like he was filling in the gaps I had in my heart and in my head. I hadn’t told my heart what my head wanted.’
