Oti Mabuse says being on Strictly saw racist trolls send her 'horrible' abuse

Defiant Oti Mabuse has sent a message to the ­racists who target her because of her work on Strictly, declaring that their hate just makes her more determined to succeed.

The 31-year-old dancer, who has won Strictly twice, told the Radio Times: “The hard stuff that I’ve been through, with the racism and discrimination, is proof that people still have a lot to learn.

“The more hate I receive, the more of a reason it is to carry on doing my job. I have to show young girls that anything is possible. I have to fight, and be strong.”
