When quizzed about what she hoped Christmas will bring, Oti gushed: “A puppy! Also, time with my husband.
“I haven’t seen him for over seven weeks now, so that would be the best gift.”
Her comments come after each couple in the competition – consisting of the celebrity and their professional partner – formed a bubble due to COVID-19.
This means that one half lives alone while the other can remain within their original household.
“It’s grey, but everything on TV is very Christmassy,” Oti added.
Meanwhile, Oti and Bill stunned audiences with their impressive dance skills on Strictly at the weekend.
The dancing duo performed an Argentine Tango to a number from Phantom of the Opera.
Their routine was part of Musicals Week on the reality dance show.
Oti and Bill received an impressive score of 24 points from the Strictly judges putting them in fourth place on the leaderboard.
Andrew Lloyd Webber praised their performance as he took to Twitter.
He wrote: “That was fantastic. Huge well done @BillBailey and @OtiMabuse! – #TeamALW.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One at 7.25pm.
