She laughed as she told the panel: "So we did Strictly Germany together. He did a season before me and then I came on after but then I moved to the UK.
"So he is like a real macho man, he talks like this (deep voice) with an east European accent and he's always like, 'just don't touch my wife unless you have to. Unless you reeeeally have to. Just don't.'
"And then he gives them this really firm handshake like, 'I'm watching, I see what you're doing'.
"It's sexy! You're standing there and your man is like threatening your dance partner. You're like, 'yes baby!'"

Marius even gave her Strictly 2018 partner, Graeme Swann the special treatment.
The 28-year-old star revealed: "Graeme is my best friend now but he knew nothing about me then. He came to me with a big bouquet of flowers and he was like, 'Oh Oti I'm so excited for our journey.'
"And out of nowhere my husband came over and took these flowers out of my hands and said, 'she's allergic to flowers.'
"I am which works for him but I never got flowers again."

She joined the show in 2015 for its thirteenth series and was partnered with boxer Anthony Ogogo but unfortunately did not make it past week three.
