Oti Mabuse's Saturday Night Takeaway role prompts action as fans declare her 'star of the show'

Oti Mabuse prompted Saturday Night Takeaway bosses to take swift action after her appearance on the series finale had fans at home declaring her 'the star of the show.'

Strictly champion pro turned Dancing on Ice judge joined the likes of Stephen Mulhern and Fleur East to star in the series finale of Ant and Dec's hit show on ITV. Following in the footsteps of Jeremy Clarkson, who was left making a foul mouthed rant as he was targeted at the start of the series, Oti was the latest victim of I'm A Celebrity Get Out of Me Ear, with absolutely hilarious consequences.

The premise of Oti's scenario was that she was interviewing potential candidates to be her chauffeur. The applicants all thought they were turning up for a legitimate job interview but, unbeknown to them, Ant and Dec were feeding Oti cues via a hidden ear piece.

Their instructions were the catalyst for some scenes that were total TV gold. One saw Oti ask one man if she could check out the back of his head as that's what she'd be looking at most of the time, also requesting that he fold her underwear; while another candidate had to drive around her kitchen on a chair as if he was taking Oti to the airport, with a third being offered a dog biscuits by Oti, as she raved about how tasty they were.

An actress was also in the joke as she pretended to play Oti's furious neighbour, left angry after the ex Strictly star ordered one interviewee to chuck a tea bag over the garden fence. The 'neighbour,' was seen looking in through the patio window complaining about the tea bags, before asking: "Oti, have you got a man in there?"

Saturday Night Takeaway viewers at home couldn't get enough of Oti's Get Out of My Ear, with some wiping away tears of laughter on their sofa. And Takeaway producers clearly realised they'd struck TV gold too as, in a rare move for the show, they swiftly published an extended cut of Oti's segment, so that fans could enjoy even more hilarious moments from the mock job interviews.

Declkaring her 'star of the show,' one fan took to Twitter to post: " #SaturdayNightTakeaway oti star of the show, fold my nix." Another reacted: "Oti Mabuse's Goaty and Goosey is incredible. That's going to be in my head FOREVER. Defo one of the best.
