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 @billbaileyofficia
