Cheryl and Strictly's Oti Mabuse break silence over 'feud' claims
They are working on The Greatest Dancer together
They are about to spend an awful lot of time together as they judge on brand new show The Greatest Dancer, but recent reports suggested there was a feud between 'Love Made Me Do It' singer Cheryl and Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse.
According to recent reports, Oti and other crew members accused Cheryl of being a 'diva' on the set, but now the dancing professional has broken her silence on the claims, admitting it was all rubbish.
She said, "I love Cheryl and had a great time filming The Greatest Dancer with her and I can't wait to see her again soon."
Meanwhile, according to Digital Spy, a spokesperson for Cheryl told them, "Cheryl absolutely loves working with Oti and has a brilliant relationship with her."
It comes after bosses at the BBC revealed Simon Cowell's new show will hit our TV screens on Saturday 5th January. Glee actor Matthew Morrison will appear on the judging panel alongside Cheryl and Oti, with Alesha Dixon and Diversity star Jordan Banjo hosting the show.
The new show is looking to find the UK's best dancer, from ballet to jazz, and hip hop to Bollywood. A statement from the show reads, "Expect dramatic auditions, incredible challenges and remarkable live performances as dancers swing, swirl and sashay onto the stage each week in the hope of being named The Greatest Dancer.”
We can't wait for it to begin! 💃
