Who is in Oti Mabuse's final three in The Greatest Dancer?

Oti has selected her three acts to take to the next stage of the competition.

Here are the lucky ones who made it through:

Ellie

14-year-old Ellie reduced Oti to tears during her audition so it’s not surprise she made the dancer’s final three.

Ellie lives with her mum, dad and two sisters in Livingston, Scotland and she eats, sleeps and breathes dance.

She started dancing aged 3 and trains every single night of the week after school for three to four hours at a time.

Speaking about why she should win the competition she said: “That’s for other people to decide, but I’m very committed and determined. I always give it my all, even on an off day I always have the drive to keep going.”

The Globe Girls

The Globe Girls are a London-based drag group made up of five professional stage performers – Matt, Jak, Alex, Tom and JP.

They want to bring drag to the mainstream and prove that drag acts aren’t just about comedy.

Speaking about why they should win the competition they said:“Because not only can we dance, but we entertain, something that everyone needs right now in this current climate.”

KLA

KLA are a Latin Formation group from South Wales, formed of eight girls – Clara, Ariella, Ava, Izzy, Nellie, Halle-Mai, Emily and Hannah – aged between 9-11. They love to dance and train four times a week!

Speaking about why they should win the competition they said: “Just being us and showing all our personalities, we work so hard and this just means everything to us!”

What has Oti said about her final three acts?

After selecting her final three Oti said: “I chose KLA as they are brilliant dancers and very talented. They represent the Latin and Ballroom world and are young and fresh. I think KLA are the ones to watch!

"I love the Globe Girls! They are fun, and they bring a totally different element to the show, and who doesn’t love a Drag Queen? They are entertaining and very versatile. These girls can really dance, and they make us enjoy dance in a way we never thought we would.

"Ellie has something special. She has brilliant lines and is very emotive in her body and I can’t wait to see what she can bring as the weeks go on. I 100% believe in Ellie!”

What is Oti's own dance experience?

Since the start of her professional career, Oti has earned various awards including first place in the German Championship Freestyle Latin competition.

She joined the show in 2015 for its thirteenth series and was partnered with boxer Anthony Ogogo but unfortunately did not make it past week three.

Oti was then partnered with Hollyoaks hunk Danny Mac, and the duo were the show's standout performers, topping the leaderboard seven times on their way to the finals.
