‘Oti and I FELL OUT backstage'

Cheryl tells us that the Strictly pro ‘plays dirty’ on The Greatest Dancer

- HAYLEY MINN

After filming wrapped on the first series of The Greatest Dancer last year, Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse confessed she and her fellow judge Cheryl ‘hadn’t really kept in touch’, adding fuel to the rumours of a feud between the two women. And with Simon Cowell’s BBC dance competition returning to our screens in January, former X Factor judge Cheryl, 36, has admitted things got heated between her and Oti, 29, while filming the second series. Oti and Cheryl are two of the four judges on the show, hosted by Alesha Dixon and Diversity star Jordan Banjo, with Glee star Matthew Morrison and new judge Todrick Hall completing the line-up. Todrick – who has choreographed for the likes of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift – isn’t the only thing that’s new about the upcoming series: at the end of each day of auditions, one judge, chosen at random, gets to choose their Greatest Dancer of the Day. Here, Cheryl dishes the dirt on what went on behind the scenes.
