Oti Mabuse will perform a poignant waltz with her husband Marius Lepure during her first tour
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' star, 31, is kicking off her first run of live shows, and she's featuring her longtime partner Marius, 39.
The couple are expected to share a particularly romantic moment during the shows as they perform a "heart-wrenchingly beautiful" waltz together.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The two of them are just electric on stage. The frisson is off the chart. You can’t keep your eyes off them."
The 'I am Here' shows opened in Cardiff, Wales on Thursday night (28.04.22).
Oti and Marius met in Germany and they married in 2014. They now live together in London.
The South African dancer quit the hit BBC dance show back in February after spending seven years working as a professional on the series.
Her tour had been announced before she confirmed plans to leave 'Strictly', but was delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Oti recently admitted professional dancers can't "master all styles" of dance, and said she is a "terrible" tap dancer.
She explained: “Ballet is very different to ballroom and Latin dance.
“Dance is really individual and I don’t think you can just master any style. I have a podcast and on every single episode, I learn a different style of dance.
"I was terrible at tap! Terrible! But I enjoyed Irish dancing. So, just because you are dancer, it doesn’t mean you can master all styles.
"Every dance has its own language and you have to put in the work to be able to do it. The body moves how the body moves."
