And they are not just sat about watching re-runs of the BBC1 show.

Oti has revealed that to stave off boredom and keep things sexy at home, she has devised a romantic competition for the smitten pair.

She said: “I love being home with him all the time.

“Never have we spent so much time together. I said to Marius, ‘Let’s do this thing where we surprise each other with dates’ — just a lovely date in the day.

“You never know when it’s going to come and the winner gets something at the end of the week. It can be breakfast, lunch, brunch or supper.

“It’s always romantic and it’s always beautiful. But I’m losing at my own game. It’s three-nil to Marius!

“I’ve had fruit for breakfast in bed, he’s made dinner and he’s outside now making a cinema so we can have a picnic and watch a movie outside.

“How am I losing at my own game?!”

In a chat with her Strictly colleague Janette Manrara, Oti was told she needed to “step it up” and devise a sexy outfit to pull back a point.

Oti added: “I know where to start . . . but I don’t want to start there, I want to finish there! I need to get creative.”

Just get the Strictly wardrobe team on the blower. A few sequins and you’ll be away.

Model behaviour

CAPRICE displays some model behaviour as she abides by Government guidelines and wears a face mask while out exercising.

But the Dancing On Ice contestant didn’t cover up too much else as she pounded the towpath of a London canal on a gruelling run.

Let’s hope she made it through to the end . . .  unlike her short-lived stint on the ITV show.

Goggle at art for charity

THE cast of Gogglebox are putting themselves in the firing line, for once, and all for a good cause.

Channel 4’s panel of telly judges swapped their remote controls for paintbrushes and created self-portraits to raise much-needed cash for the Cavell Nurses’ Trust.

Their masterpieces will be up for grabs in a prize draw that runs from tomorrow until June 5. You can find out more about the draw at .

Among those who contributed their artistic skills are best pals Jenny Newby and Lee Riley.

The pair are more usually seen giving their forthright views on TV programmes from Jenny’s caravan in Hull.

For this draw, they created an image of themselves wearing face masks and each sporting “Nurses Rock” T-shirts produced to generate more funds for the healthworkers’ charity.

Pack it in, Chris

MILLIONS of us are keeping everything crossed that this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity makes it on to our screens despite everything.

But not Chris Packham.

The nature campaigner says he is “celebrating” its absence in his latest blast at the ITV hit.

Chris is a long-time critic of producers using creatures in the Bushtucker Trials, which he regards as cruel to the animals.

Last year’s series was the first not to use live insects in eating trials.

Chris said: “It generates an enormous revenue for them and so that loss would be a hard test to take.

“But if it gives them an opportunity for a rethink and a reappraisal, that is great.

“I was celebrating that it was off the air.”
You’re probably the only person in Britain who feels that way, Chris.
