Dancing On Ice's Oti Mabuse admits struggle with 'hurtful' comments
Oti Mabuse, who has appeared on both Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice, revealed that she's always been about "body positivity" but she's faced "hurtful" comments
Oti Mabuse has admitted that she struggled after receiving "hurtful" comments about her weight and said women get "put through the trenches".
In a recent interview, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional opened up about how she's received a number of negative comments from viewers about her body, something she described as "not nice".
Oti, who is also known for her work on Dancing On Ice, revealed that she's always been about "body positivity", and although she has tried to not let the comments bother her, she's "still working through it".
She told the Times: "Women get put through the trenches a lot of the time. And I guess we do wear dresses and it’s about the fashion and that’s how people monetise it. But I was getting the most compliments when I was not having a healthy lifestyle, not making healthy lifestyle choices.
"I guess I’ve always been about body positivity and women feeling comfortable in their own skin, but when a picture has been taken of you, and someone goes out of their way to make you feel terrible, that’s not nice. That’s actually quite hurtful."

Oti went on to say that she looks "completely different" from other women, but she's "doing it anyway".
In January, she opened up about the key lesson she learned when her weekend breakfast show was cancelled. When it was on the air, Oti presented a show on Saturdays, with Laura Whitmore taking on Sundays.
The South African dancer, who initially appeared on Let's Dance in Germany before joining Strictly in its 13th series, landed wins with both Kelvin Fletcher and Bill Bailey.
Oti would leave the BBC dance competition in 2021 and become a judge on ITV's Dancing on Ice in 2022, appearing with Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean and Diversity's Ashley Banjo.
Speaking to The Times, Oti said: "But the biggest lessons you get are from the failures. The most successful people are the ones who have failed over and over and over again and not given up."
