About this listen
In this episode of The Beginning, Middle and End podcast, Mo Gilligan sits down with the multitalented Oti Mabuse — dancer, choreographer, and vibrant TV personality. Oti opens up about her journey from studying civil engineering in South Africa to becoming a two-time Strictly Come Dancing champion and a beloved household name in British entertainment.
With warmth and humor, Oti reflects on her early life in South Africa, the cultural expectations of her family, and the bold move to Germany where she pursued dance professionally. She candidly discusses the challenges of being a Black woman in the world of ballroom dancing, her transition to UK television, and the realities behind the glitz of red carpets and live performances.
The episode is packed with heartfelt anecdotes, including behind-the-scenes stories from Strictly, bonding with fellow panelists on The Masked Dancer, and the transformative experience of participating in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!. Oti also opens up about personal growth, motherhood, and the unwavering support of her family.
Mo and Oti’s chemistry makes for an engaging, funny, and inspiring conversation that showcases Oti’s authenticity, drive, and enduring charisma.
