Strictly Come Dancing star Graeme Swann, 39, and Oti Mabuse, 28, danced together on the BBC show last year, but the cricket star will be performing with Karen Clifton, 35, on the upcoming tour. Taking to Twitter, Oti shared an article which stated Karen and Graeme have been rehearsing together for the tour. In view of her 78,000 followers, she wrote: “My loves... I can’t wait for these two to dance together please do the your and each other’s friendship.”(sic) Graeme and Karen will perform on the tour along with a host of their fellow co-stars later this month.
Oti will not be performing in the scheduled shows due to her other work commitments including her current stint on The Greatest Dancer.
Last month, she shared her excitement for the pair, but admitted she was “sad” to be missing out.
She wrote: “So happy to announce @officialgraemeswann WILL be joining the @strictlycomedancinglive but WITHOUT me.
“Instead he will be dancing with my lovely, incredibly talented friend @karecliftonofficial.”
She added: “Can’t wait to see you two burning the floor together.
“Although I’m sad, I know you’ll be in great hands and, for those asking why I’m not on tour, I’ll be starting on the brand new show @greatestdancer next year that’s coming soon on @bbcone.”
