Wow! Oti Mabuse caused temperatures to soar when she attended the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards at the London Hilton on Monday

It follows that Oti is being considered as a replacement for David Walliams on Britain’s Got Talent, following his vile comments about two of the show’s contestants.

Reality show bosses have discussed how Oti would be perfect for the role.

She is currently at the center of a tug-of-war between ITV and the BBC, who both want her to star in their shows due to her overwhelming popularity.

A television insider told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Oti’s name is in the frame. She is touted as the perfect replacement for Walliams if ITV decides not to take him back.

“Several talks are taking place as negotiations are currently taking place, but Oti is a clear route that many BGT stakeholders want to take. They think she’d be perfect.’

Oti made her debut as a television judge on another Simon Cowell program, The Greatest Dancer, in 2018 and he grew very fond of her.

After she quit Strictly last year, the South African dancer was poached by ITV to be part of the judging panel of their skating competition, Dancing On Ice. They also made her the host of her own dating show, Romeo And Duet.

But the BBC then took her back for a new quiz show, The Tower, which she recently filmed for the broadcaster.

Walliams’ future on BGT remains in doubt after he described an older contestant as an asshole and made vile sexual comments about a woman who was also on the show.

The comments, made in January 2020 during auditions at the London Palladium, were picked up by the programme’s microphones and revealed earlier this month.

They left both production company Thames and broadcaster ITV uncertain about his return for the 2023 series.

During the audition, an elderly performer engaged in banter with the judges in which he made a joke about Walliams. After the audition, the pensioner left, after which Walliams allegedly called him a ‘c***’ three times.

In another instance, after a female contestant auditioning for the same show left the stage, Walliams remarked, “She’s like the slightly boring girl you meet in the pub and think you want to fuck them, but you don’t.” … It’s the last thing on your mind, but she says, “Yeah, I bet you do!” ‘

Walliams, who was in talks to return for a tenth series along with the other judges, Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, is being ‘under scrutiny’, with some senior staff saying he should be suspended immediately.
