Oti Mabuse leads the glamour at ITV launch event after jumping ship from BBC's Strictly

Oti Mabuse led the glamour at the ITV Autumn Entertainment launch event on Tuesday after swapping Strictly Come Dancing for The Masked Dancer.

The television personality, 32, left the BBC show earlier this year after spending seven years competing for the glitterball trophy. Oti has previously said she wanted to leave Strictly at the peak of her success.

The professional performer will return to The Masked Dancer's judging panel on Saturday alongside Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and newbie Peter Crouch.

Oti caught the eye as she stepped out at the launch in a black skintight jumpsuit which hugged her curves. Her outfit featured a sweetheart neckline, highlighting her cleavage.

The star paid attention to every detail of her outfit, painting her nails pink and accessorising with dainty gold rings.

Oti also wore matching gold earrings and had her hair styled into a high bun. She opted for pointed black shoes.

Speaking to YOU magazine earlier this year, Oti talked about her decision to leave Strictly. She said: "When I came to Britain I said to myself, ’My dream is to win Strictly.′

"And I have, and it was such an amazing seven years, but I’ve done what I needed to do."

The dancer wanted to pursue her TV career, with her exit from the BBC series allowing her to take on new projects. She has since been a judge on Dancing on Ice and appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Oti continued: "I feel so emotional. I lived my best life on that show, and it gave me the career I have now, but you need to know when it’s the right time to get off that wave and try new things.

"I didn’t want to hold on and get to the point where I wasn’t happy any more."

Oti was joined at the ITV launch event by her fellow Masked Dancer panellists Davina, 54, and Peter, 41.

Davina wowed in a black velvet dress which featured a cut out detail near one of her shoulders. She matched the dress with a pair of black heels.

The Big Brother presenter opted to wear her hair in loose waves around her face.

Former professional footballer Peter beamed as he stood in between his two co-stars. He wore a smart navy suit which was paired with a white t-shirt and navy trainers.

Also in attendance were Rochelle Humes, Tom Jones and Jeremy Clarkson.
