Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti, who became the standout star of tonight’s show with her infectious smile, was brought to tears after a contestant’s performance.
Contestant Ellie, who performed a contemporary routine, caught 28-year-old Oti’s eye.
The youngster’s performance was reminiscent of Sia’s music video performer Maddie Ziegler.
Following her routine, Oti gushed: “Ellie, I love how emotional that was.
I love how emotional that was. I would really love, love to work with you

Oti continued to wipe her eyes as Matthew Morrison commended her performance while advising her to stay unique.
He said: “You can really tell the commitment that you have given to dance your whole life, through that performance.
