The snaps follow reports that Oti is being considered as a replacement for David Walliams on Britain’s Got Talent, after his vile remarks about two of the show’s contestants were unearthed via an audio clip.

Bosses of the reality programme have discussed how the star would be perfect for the role, according to sources.

She is currently at the centre of a tug of war between ITV and the BBC, who both want her to star on their shows because of her overwhelming popularity.

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

“There are multiple conversations taking place as negotiations are currently taking place but Oti is a clear route many involved in BGT want to take.

“They think she would be perfect.”
