It's sad news for Strictly Come Dancing viewers as one fan favourite is set to leave the show.
Oti Mabuse announced the news on her Instagram today (February 22) having spent seven years on the show.
In her Instagram post the dancer said that making the 'difficult decision' has not been an easy one.
The two-time Strictly winner won with Kevin Fletcher back in 2019 and Bill Bailey in 2020 - making her the only professional dancer to pick up the glitterball trophy twice in a row.
The 31-year-old was later joined by her sister Motsi who took up the role as a judge.
Strictly executive producer Sarah James told the BBC that Oti had been "a truly wonderful part of Strictly for the past seven years."
She said: "Her energy, creativity and talent have contributed to so many of the show's most memorable moments and she will be hugely missed, not only by viewers, but the entire team.
"We couldn't be prouder of Oti and what she has achieved on the show. She will always be at the very heart of our Strictly family and we wish her every success in her already bright future."
