The pair join resident judge, choreographer Kaelynn ‘KK’ Harris on the show - which is hosted by Jamie Laing - and will see single professional dancers and rookie non-dancers compete to find their perfect partner on and off the dancefloor.
Oti said: "I loved working on 'I Like the Way U Move'. It was entertaining, raw and sexy. I had such fun working alongside Jamie Lang and Kaelynn 'KK' Harris. It’s a fresh and different way of looking at dance and dating! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did."
Oti will be joined by other alums from the Saturday night show including professional Johannes Radebe and 'EastEnders ' actress Maisie, 20, who reached the final of the ballroom dancing show in 2020.
Maisie said: "“I loved my time on set for 'I Like The Way U Move' with Jamie, KK and the cast - dancing is a huge passion of mine and I know how much work it takes to pull off the level of routines they did! There is some serious chemistry on the dancefloor and I can’t wait for everyone to get to know the cast and to get behind their favourite couples!”
Pro dancer Giovanni Pernice - also of 'Strictly' fame - said he was "absolutely thrilled" to judge on the show.
Other big names to sign up to the new series - set to launch on BBC iPlayer later this month - include 'Bad Education' actor and West End star Layton Williams and radio DJ Clara Amfo, whilst rapper Lady Leshurr, 32, will appear on the show following her stint on 'Dancing on Ice' in 2021.
She said: "It was a pleasure to be a part of this show! The dancers have so much talent and chemistry ... it’s like love and basketball but with a soundtrack."
'I Like The Way U Move' will be available as a boxset on BBC iPlayer from Sunday 17.10.2021.
