Comfort for Oti as niece dies aged 28
STRICTLY Come Dancing stars rallied around former colleague Oti Mabuse after her niece died at 28.
The Dancing On Ice judge, 31, shared a tribute to Tlhogi on Instagram, describing her as “the kindest, sweetest human being in my life”.
The South African also wrote under a photo: “How is this the last time I would hold you in my arms.”
She added: “We had plans, travel the world and dance on a beach in Jamaica for my birthday.”
Strictly pro Katya Jones, head judge Shirley Ballas, fashion model Daisy Lowe and RuPaul’s Drag Race judge Michelle Visage were among the friends sending their condolences.
ITV did not say if Oti would be at next Sunday’s Dancing on Ice final.
