STRICTLY star Oti Mabuse is giving support to the show’s new pro dancer Cameron Lombard after it emerged he was expelled from school over a fight.

She took her fellow South African to a London restaurant for brunch on Sunday to make sure he was OK.

Latin dance champion Cameron, 20, last week revealed how he had learned from the incident three years ago, saying: “That’s not who I am, I’m a dancer, I’m not a fighter.”

He claimed he had retaliated after an attack left him in hospital, adding: “I reacted in completely the wrong way and I realise that and regret it.”
