Oti Mabuse received condolences from her former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars after she shared the heartbreaking news that her niece had died.
Oti, who made the switch from Strictly to Dancing on Ice earlier this year and then announced she's quit the BBC ballroom show, won't be on television this week as ITV pulled Dancing on Ice from the schedule to make way for FA Cup football.
And as the programme goes on a week-long hiatus, Oti took to Instagram to reveal her tragic personal news, telling her 644,000 followers that 28-year-old niece Tlhogi had passed away.
