When Oti Mabuse first set foot on the dancefloor with Marius Lepure, sparks flew and she knew he was 'the one'.
The pair were introduced by Oti's sister and Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi, who suggested a few men she could trial as dance partners when she turned professional and moved from South Africa to Germany.
But Oti, 30, didn't get too far down the list as Romanian dancer Marius, 38, who won't have to worry about the infamous 'Strictly curse' any more after her exit was announced, was the first and only dancer to try out - and she cancelled all the rest.
