Oti Mabuse didn't hold back discussing Strictly Come Dancing. The show icon made her opinions clear about her co-star Nadiya Bychkova launching into her solo tour away from the BBC programme. Sharing the promotional poster on social media, the professional promises "an evening of conversation and dance".

Nadiya, who is amongst Strictly stars who hasn't complained to bosses after controversy surrounding the treatment of celebrities, re-shared Oti's comments as she tackled negative opinions about women being "bad for business" on her Instagram Story. Throwing her support behind Nadiya, Oti penned: "Women in our business are often told they are bad for business. That they don't sell out tours.

They are not funny, women won't pay to see other women dance. We aren't marketable, they don't have big personalities. "I call [poo emoji] and I hope you all agree," she continued, uploading Nadiya's flyer.

"Going out on your own and trying your hardest to do it is the bravest and hardest steps you can think of but we do it anyway as moms, sisters, friends and sister hood. "Congratulations @nadiyabychkova so proud of you. I hope you all go out and buy as many tickets as possible and support our girls who are trying to break the chain," Oti concluded.

Nadiya was quick to reply, writing: "My darling @otimabuse this means so much. "Thank you for this for your support. Really really appreciate you.

This is how we break the chain...

because we support each other. Always love you." Nadiya recent.
