OTI Mabuse is set for a dance-off with Strictly, as her new solo tour is in direct competition with the BBC hit's Professionals show.

Not only are both starting on the same day, they are even playing the same city, Cardiff, on the same night.

Oti, who quit Strictly earlier this year, will kick off her I Am Here tour on April 28 in the Welsh capital, where she will perform at the city's New Theatre for three nights.

Strictly Come Dancing The Professionals begins on April 28 at The Lowry in Salford before heading over the border to play the Cardiff Arena two nights later.
