She added: “To be part of a show which is so diverse is incredible. It always pushes to open new doors.
“We had JJ Chalmers and Will Bayley…it’s become a normal thing.
“I’m sure they will have a male same-sex couple this year.”

Olympic champ Nicola Adams was partnered with Katya Jones in last year’s Strictly before having to pull out due to Covid worries.
Oti, 30, has been signed as a judge on new ITV show The Masked Dancer — and said she was so thrilled she jumped up and down on her bed.
She said: “I’m excited to see who the faces are and the level of dancing.”
