ITV Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse makes accidental blunder as she channels Disney princess

Dancing On Ice's newest judge Oti Mabuse may have forgotten where she was on Sunday night.

The professional dancer was back on the ice panel as the ITV skating competition returned for a movie week special.

She was casting an eye over the remaining stars' routines alongside Ashley Banjo and skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

Oti, 31, looked sensational as she donned a Princess Jasmine-inspired look.

She wore a flowy, halter-neck dress in different shades of blue while he hair was styled into bunched plaits that fell behind her.

And fans were quickly making a Disney's Aladdin comparison.

@PetiteCee tweeted: "Just tuned in and @OtiMabuse seems to be channelling Princess Jasmine #DancingOnIce."

"@OtiMabuse looks like Princess Jasmine #DancingonIce," @TellyChat_ wrote.

@GarrettCarole said: "@OtiMabuse you look stunning this evening on #DancingOnIce Jasmine from Aladdin vibe!"

"Oti has some Jasmine vibes going on #aladdin #dancingonice," @xNicole06 added.

But later in the show, Dancing On Ice viewers were distracted by Oti's mistake when discussing the skate-off.

Ria Hebden found herself in the bottom two for a second time while Rachel Stevens faced her after making her competition debut.

Oti, however, was soon accused of being on the 'wrong show' thanks to a slip-up in her comments.

@2001joe_mendy tweeted: "Dance-off??? Oti, I hate to be rogue, but I think we call it a skate-off here...just sayin'. #DancingOnIce."

"Remind Oti it’s a Skate off not a dance off #DancingOnIce #wrongshow," @Barbymargy said.

@Mrs_Fi_Sparkles wrote: "It’s a 'skate-off' @OtiMabuse - that’s the other show!"

"Otis deffo going to get told off for saying 'dance off' #DancingOnIce," @Tomhayess_ added.

Of course, Oti is best known for being a professional dancer of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Latin American and ballroom dancer, who won the South African Latin American Championship eight times, first appeared as a professional dancer in the German version of Strictly Come Dancing in 2015.

The same year, she joined the BBC One dance competition where she was partnered with former boxer Anthony Ogogo.

In 2016, Oti had an incredible year on Strictly as she was partnered with former Hollyoaks actor Danny Mac for the show's 14th series.

The couple reached the final and finished as runners-up.

But it wasn't until 2019 that Oti finally got her hands on the Glitterball Trophy.

Originally paired with Jamie Laing for the series, an injury during the launch show saw former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher drafted in.

They went on to become the winners of the series and the following year, in 2020, Oti kept her Strictly champion title alongside comedian Bill Bailey.
