The 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional and the former 'The Greatest Dancer' judge is set to embark on the 'I Am Here' tour, which is named after the literal translation of her name in the South African language, Setswana.

The run will kick off on April 16th, 2021, and will wrap at the iconic London Coliseum in June, where the dancing champ will take to the stage for a special gala performance.

As per a press release, the show is a "whirlwind celebration of the influences and inspirations that took her on a journey from growing up in South Africa to following her dream."

The spectacle will feature Jives, Sambas and traditional South African dances.

Oti - who lifted the Glitterball Trophy with former 'Emmerdale' star Kelvin Fletcher on 'Strictly' last year - has invited the "world's greatest dancers and the West End's finest singers and musicians" to join her on stage.

She said: "It's like a dream come true to be announcing my first ever tour!

"Performing on stage is something I feel so passionately about, and I can't wait to get out on the road and share my story with you all."

Meanwhile, Oti recently revealed she devised a romantic competition for her husband during lockdown.

The 29-year-old star 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 gets awarded a tasty treat.

She 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."
