The 29-year-old professional dancer and Marius Iepure - who married in 2012 - have been keeping things interesting in quarantine by surprising each other with amorous gestures, and the person who does the best job will be awarded a tasty treat.

Speaking to her fellow 'Strictly' pro Janette Manrara on an Instagram Live, Oti said: "I love being home with him all the time. Never have we spent so much time together.

"I said to Marius, 'Let's do this thing where we surprise each other with dates.' Just a lovely date in the day. You never know when it's going to come and the winner gets something at the end of the week. It can be breakfast, lunch, brunch or supper.

"It's always romantic and it's always beautiful. But I'm losing at my own game. It's 3-0 to Marius!"

The 37-year-old dancer has surprised his wife with breakfast in bed, a home cinema as well as a home cooked meal, but Oti is still disappointed she is being beaten at her own game.

She said: "I've had fruit for breakfast in bed, he's made dinner and he's outside now making a cinema so we can have a picnic and watch a movie outside.

"How am I losing at my own game?!"

However, her 'Strictly Come Dancing' co-star Janette gave Oti some advice and told her to put on a sexy outfit to "step it up".

But Oti had that trick planned for another part of the night.

She replied: "I know where to start ... but I don't want to start there, I want to finish there! I need to get creative."
