ITV's Oti Mabuse suffers blow as Romeo & Duet scrapped after just one series

Oti Mabuse has been dealt a blow by ITV after the plug has been pulled on her Saturday night primetime show Romeo & Duet after just one series.

Months after being confirmed as the new judge on Dancing on Ice, it was announced that ex Strictly pro Oti would front the new dating programme, where singles aim to impress the 'picker' with their vocals, as they have to decide whether to come down from their tower to meet them.

Romeo & Duet's run was disrupted as ITV prioritised live sporting action over its Saturday night shows and, by the time its final episode aired, it had already been plagued by cancellation rumours as Oti told viewers: "hat's it for tonight. Thanks to all our other couples and singers...we'll be opening up for more musical matchmaking very soon on Romeo and Duet!"
