Oti shared a behind-the-scenes snap of herself and contestant Michelle Visage on her Instagram Story, in which she looked decidedly less happy to be there than the RuPaul’s Drag Race judge.

The picture in question was taken backstage at this year’s Halloween special, and shows Michelle giving her best Morticia Addams, following her Foxtrot routine which bagged the highest score of the series so far. This year’s Halloween special proved to be an eventful one, with professional dancer Neil Jones and celebrity contestant Will Bayley both having to miss the live show after sustaining injuries during rehearsals.
It’s since been announced that Will has left the competition, and there are also concerns he may not be fit enough to compete in the Tokyo Paralympics next year.
The Paralympic athlete said: “I’ve loved being part of the show and am so grateful for the phenomenal support we have received.
“I want to say a special thank you to Janette [Manrara, his professional partner], for believing in me, and giving me the confidence to believe in myself. The things we achieved, from our Couple’s Choice dance, through to our lifts in our Salsa, will stay with me forever. I’ve had the time of my life.”MORE STRICTLY...

World rings in 2023

Country by country, the world welcomed 2023 early Sunday morning — and bid goodbye to a year marked by war, economic uncertainties, and COVID variants. Many cities were celebrating New Year's in full force for the first time since the pandemic, with more than 100,000 gathering on the Embankment of the Thames in London for a firework show that paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, while an estimated million people braved the rain for the New Year's Eve party in New York's Times Square.
