Oti Mabuse dresses down in grey joggers and a bright yellow hoodie as she leaves Saturday Kitchen… one day before taking to the Dancing On Ice judging panel

She’s set to return to the Dancing On Ice judging panel for a second year on Sunday.

But Oti Mabuse opted for a more dressed down look this weekend as she was snapped departing Saturday Kitchen.

The pro dancer, 32, donned a pair of grey joggers with a bright yellow hoodie, keeping warm in a longline padded jacket.

Flashing a smile for the camera, she teamed the look with a pair of blue trainers – layering a crossbody bag over her torso. 

Oti pulled her locks into a high ponytail while leaving the cooking show, where she joined Matt Tebbutt and chefs Theo Randall and Gemma Ogston.

And the appearance comes just a day before she’s set to take to the Dancing On Ice judging panel alongside Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean and Ashley Banjo.

And Oti recently revealed that she wears her slippers and joggers behind the judging desk.

The pro admitted she changes into her comfy clothes during the first ad break of the ITV show due to her dresses being uncomfortable.

She was asked if she has anything viewers can’t see and responded: ‘I have a heater, a hot water bottle and I don’t wear my shoes. People see me walking and they see the shoes but as soon as we go to an ad break, I’m in my slippers.

‘I wear my dressing gown and another thing, I wear my joggers. If I don’t wear a dressing gown, I’ll wear my joggers. Sometimes the dresses aren’t comfortable to sit in so I scoop them up and I’ll wear my joggers, so that’s why you don’t see me standing.’

Speaking about the series returning, Oti said: ‘It feels like last week we were here doing the Semi-Final and waiting for the Final! It’s exciting and it’s such a big show. I feel like Dancing on Ice starts the year, it’s the big glamorous sparkly show and it helps you transition from cold January into the warmer months.

‘Dancing on Ice is there every Sunday night to give us a bit of glitz and glam. For me, it’s honestly such a privilege to be on the panel and it’s great not to be the newbie anymore!’

Stars such as Patsy Palmer, Joey Essex and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu are all set to take to the ice to battle it out for the crown.

Dancing on Ice returns this January on ITV1 and ITVX.
