Oti Mabuse ends Romeo & Duet with 'conflicting' message as ITV show dealt blow

Oti Mabuse looked like she might well have tempted fate with her closing message at the end of the latest episode of Romeo and Duet on Saturday as doubts are cast over the show's future.

After she made the switch from the BBC to ITV to join the Dancing on Ice panel, Oti then was handed another big opportunity by the channel when she was chosen to front the unique spin on the dating show format . Romeo & Duet sees one single take on the role of 'Juliet' by standing at the top of some steps while hearing potential suitors sing for their approval, without being able to see them.

The pickers have to decide whether to come all the way to the bottom of the steps and meet the person singing, before they then see each other for the first time Blind Date style and rehearse for a final duet. The show received a lot of hype ahead of its launch a few months ago, but, has had a rather disrupted run on Saturday night primetime TV, due to the fact that ITV chose to prioritise live sporting action over their scheduled programming.
