Oti's collection is a first for the star since she made the decision to leave the BBC show.

In an interview with YOU magazine, Oti explained the heartbreaking reason she’d wanted to leave Strictly at "the peak" that left her "crying for hours".

Oti continued: "When I came to Britain I said to myself, ’My dream is to win Strictly.′ And I have, and it was such an amazing seven years, but I’ve done what I needed to do.

"I feel so emotional. I lived my best life on that show and it gave me the career I have now, but you need to know when it’s the right time to get off that wave and try new things."
