What inspired Oti Mabuse's journey into dance?
Hello and welcome to Table Manners, I'm Jessie Ware and I'm here on a, well there was just thunderstorms but now it's blue sky, make your mind up London. Yeah, it's kind of a sunny day. How are you mum? I'm okay darling. I was going to wear a lemon shirt and I'm glad that I didn't come down in the same outfit as you today. Oh well, one in lemon. It's very strange. Sorry, do you think it's telepathic? It's very weird. I don't know. Does anyone else sync their clothes with their parents? Maybe you can let us know because this happens a lot. Does your daughter sync with you? No. No, because I'm not wearing horse T-shirts or shorts. Yeah, I'm definitely not wearing them batty riders I tell you that she's wearing.
Do you know who I sync with? Who? Oh. Oh, it's in that one.
Yeah.
Producer Alice, can you get on the mic quickly, please? So you've just said, go on. I always sync with my twin brother. I mean, that kind of makes sense to me that you're twins. You're like genetically, you know, very... Combined. Combined. But I mean, yeah, you're my mum. Yeah. And you're very close. You're very close with your brother? Yeah. Oh, okay, nice.
But maybe it's because I've got such exceptional taste that you've inherited that from me. Maybe it is.
Maybe I will be shopping in Wallace and Paveze and East. Actually, I already shop in M&S.
Sahara now.
Sahara, okay. We have Oti Mabusi on the podcast today. And we're both really excited because we're so fond of her. so fond of her long time admirer of her dancing and her stature and her wonderfulness she's a star she's I think the only dancer to win consecutive Strictly's she's amazing she's now a writer she's written this book called Slow Burn which is sounds really sexy and gorgeous about two dancers um That have a past. And she's also gone and done this trip back to South Africa with Reverend Richard Coles. How interesting.
I wonder how they became friends.
Was it through Strictly?
Possibly, because he was on Strictly, although he went very early on.
And yeah, she's coming on today to talk about the book, to talk about the documentary. I think she's just got some new, very, very exciting news that she's just announced to the world. So we will hear from her. And I am cooking. What have you done? I'm doing something that I think I haven't done for a few seasons because I think the last time I did it was with Rose Matafeo. Alison Roman, who we do a lot of on this podcast, it's her slow roasted chicken with tomatoes and oregano. And you basically cook a bird on a lower heat for two and a half to three hours. Hold on, how long has it been on? Okay, it's been on for over two and a half hours. But you put loads of tomatoes in there, two garlic bulbs that you cut in half, and then fennel seeds.
And then you add at the end, when it's resting, you add a bit of vinegar. Have we got bread for dunking? We've got bread for dunking from, I mean, people that are in South East London will know about the Lewisham Italian Deli.
Never heard of it.
It's the best. When I was writing my first record with David Kumu, he lived right around the corner and we'd go there and get these beautiful sandwiches and like espressos and stuff. Anyway, it's such a gorgeous deli. And you're supposed to toast the bread. No, no, no.
Alison, I love you. You know I worship the church amongst the Romans.
But I'm just going to use nice fresh bread. And so you just dip. And then I've just got, you know, Alison's go-to herb salad. You put any herbs that you've got in the fridge with lettuce.
So did you appreciate all the herbs I gave you?
Mum, no, I already had herbs, so thank you. So I'm just going to have to have herb salad for the next year. Okay, good. With lemon and olive oil, and then you've done pudding. Yeah, I've made a mango and passion fruit cheesecake. Right, Oti Mabusi coming up on Table Manners.
Oti Mabusi, you're here, looking glamorous, fabulous.
I'm beautiful.
You've just had a bag of crisps. Yes, I did. And you're telling me all about the Irish crisps.
I know.
Come on, hit me.
I'm so obsessed with them.
