Oti Mabuse told Nile: “You are so so so special because what you did was so easy to watch and so enjoyable. I can not wait to see what crazy things you will do next.”
Ashley Banjo added: “We have had some incredible performances already. Sometimes you see some performances and think ‘are we in week one’ and that is what I felt.”
He added: “I just couldn’t believe that that was your performance and it’s only week one. You've got so much potential to be step perfect and I’m so excited to see you grow in the competition.”
