Reigning Strictly Come Dancing champion Oti Mabuse has suggested that this year's series will be her last on the show.
Last month it was confirmed that the 30-year-old will be back as part of the professional lineup this year despite fears that she could quit after landing a role as a judge on ITV's The Masked Dancer.
Mabuse - Strictly's only pro to ever retain the crown, having triumphed with Kelvin Fletcher and Bill Bailey - has now revealed that she expects to step down after the next series.
"I love to dance and also I love bringing joy to so many people, but I think that [this year's series] will be the last one," she told The Telegraph.
"To be part of a show like Strictly, which is so diverse in every sense of the word, is incredible.
"But honestly as a woman I can't be dancing forever."
The new run of Strictly is due to begin on BBC One at the end of September. body check tags ::
