The 35-year-old popstar's 'The Greatest Dancer' co-star Oti Mabuse is a professional dancer on BBC One's 'Strictly' and she thinks Cheryl would make a fantastic contestant.

Speaking to The Sun, Oti said: "I would love to see her try. I think if she did 'Strictly', people would love her and see another side that they haven't seen yet. She would be brilliant."

Despite recent reports that the pair have not hit it off on set, Oti insisted she and Cheryl have become firm friends.

She said: "We're generally getting to know each other and there's something about her that I love.

"I feel like once she lets you in she kind of takes care of you like a sister."

Meanwhile, Cheryl recently slammed reports she and Oti - who star alongside Matthew Morrison on the show - have not been getting along.

A representative for the star said: "It's a fabricated story - yet again trying to pit female against female on a TV show. It's a shame we haven't moved past this."

"Cheryl absolutely loves working with Oti and has a brilliant relationship with her."

Oti added: "I love Cheryl and had a great time filming 'The Greatest Dancer' with her and I can't wait to see her again soon."

And a spokesperson for 'The Greatest Dancer' said: "Both Cheryl and Oti have a great relationship and this comes across on screen. There is absolutely no truth to any suggestion they don't get on."
