Strictly Come Dancing winner Oti Mabuse has paid tribute to "best friend" Bill Bailey, her supportive fellow dancers, and last but by no means least, her "absolute rock" of a husband, Marius Lepure.
The 30-year-old reigning champion, who won the show last year with
Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher, called it "an honour" to share the finale with Gorka Marquez, Karen Hauer and Janette Manrara, before thanking the
Strictly team who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to make the series happen - despite the challenges and restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.
In her first of a series of posts on Instagram, Oti shared a picture of herself and Bill as they posed with the Glitterball trophy, adding the caption: "One magical night. I can’t find the words to describe how grateful I am. At the beginning of the year my goal was to humble myself with everything I experience this year and boy did this close my year on a high with the best friend I made in @billbaileyofficial but we didn't make it alone. thank you."
