Danny Mac & Oti Argentine Tango to 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine' by Marvin Gaye - Strictly 2016 

This was Strictly’s peak. Danny Mac and Oti are absolutely amazing.

I'm telling you, Oti is the best female professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.

Oti is insanely beautiful

In 2023 He was the best ever on Strictly, his Argentine tango with Oti was stunning!!

He should have lifted the trophy!

So this is 6 years since this dance was performed and the magic still hits me! And I still feel Danny should have won and that Oti was the best strictly professional period!!

Oti's choreography is outstanding!! My favourite professional

There’s no question about it he is the best celebrity to ever grace the strictly floor. Deserved to win.

The best Strictly couple ever

He was robbed of the glitter ball that year....I am still bitter about it

I will never get over Danny not winning. Easily one of my favourite dances ever on any of the Strictly versions. Oti is an absolutely stunning dancer, this partnership was perfection.

God, this dance is perfection personified 😭 I’m back here after watching the new episodes. When will we ever see skill like this again😂

I can understand personal preference in how routines should be, but I don't think we've EVER seen such amazingly clean footwork as in that middle section. It deserved forty for that alone.

This was simply astounding. The speed, precision and fluidity of his ganchos and legwork are phenomenal.

This dance cements Oti as the best professional dancer ever in Strictly and Danny as the best celeb ever in Strictly

To this day I still cannot believe DM and Oti did not win..They were truly sensational...They was robbed!!!!!!!

Still amazing

I am ASTOUNDED that this scored less than Louise's AT, what an absolute disgrace! I have never seen a better Argentine Tango in all of the series of Strictly.

He should have won it that year

Who still watching this Tango in 2020

Oti looks AM-A-A-A-A-A-ZING. I dared not blink, it was so fast. The steps were clean & clear. Their CHEMISTRY IS ELECTRIFYING & IMMENSE.

Watching from Nigeria and confused as to how this guy didn’t win the show 😭

Stunning and atmospheric.

I've just started watching all of Danny's dances from last year. He's still the real winner in my eyes and Oti, is by far, the best professional female dancer there's ever been.

I keep on coming back to this (and their other dances) four years after the event - is anyone else doing this??!!

I never watched this series but i CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME understand why these two didn't win . No other competitors have ever come close to this degree of perfection. I had to Google who he was because i thought he was a guest famous dancer

Nothing will ever beat this. Nothing.

Danny too was fantastic and fabulous with his lifts 👏 👏

Ancient mysteries of the world, how the hell did this fella not win strictly? Imo best dancer ever on SCD.

And THAT is how an Argentine tango is done 👏🏼

Best Dancers Ever in Strictly Danny MAC and Oti. It’s 2019 and I’m watching the new series, Danny Mac is the best male dancer ever to compete in Strictly. Even though he did not win, is was and us the best ever dancer👌🏽

The best Argentine tango ever! I think Strictly should apologise to Danny Mac and award him with the glitter ball as he and Oti wan the competition by a mile. Their dances were beautiful and better than all the other contestants. Up till today, Danny Mac is still the best male celebrity dancer on strictly.

I don't know how many times I have come back to this video through the years and every single time I am perplexed by how these 2 didn't win that season...

Watching one more time Absolutely 💯.

Danny mac, Perfect specimen of a male dancer

Two years on and I still come back to watch this. Dani is incredible, Oti is truly a Goddess.

Danny Mac, Alexandra Burke, and Fleur East were totally and absolutely robbed of their Strictly winners titles.

Agree,best dance in strictly history. Simple. Never has a celebrity been able to dance like that, never. Danny is by far the best male to ever be on this show. How this didn't get 40 is incredible. And that last lift was so unique. this dance is one for the history books

Other is an excellent professional dancer and that was a excellent performance from Danny Mc he could bee a professional

Bill Bailey won the 2020 comp with Oti just before Christmas,... However Danny & Oti although they didn't win the final back in 2016 are the best couple there has ever been on strictly...

Danny was the best contestant on Strictly ever! The was judges was so critical of him for no reason. You could tell Oti really enjoyed dancing with Danny too. It was like two professionals dancing together and she could really go all out with the choreography.

Lets face it - no one can beat Danny in the whole of strictly history! x

The best tango dance I've ever watched.

WTF!!! That was jaw dropping!!!! The intricacies in the leg flicks and twists were just mind blowing. INCREDIBLE!!!! Craig and Darcy have lost their minds with their comments. I was mesmerised by that. Lordy Lordy me!!!!!

2 years consecutively for Strictly 2 years consecutively for Greatest Dancer And let’s not forget the amazing entire series with Danny Mac, OTI ROCKS!!!

Boy this man can MOVE! It's always a treat watching this guy dance! :)

The best Argentine tango ever

2019 still watching this adorable couple

How on earth Danny and Oti did not win is still a mystery. I cannot even remember who won that year.

This deserved 40, easily one of the best dances I've ever seen on strictly. How this scored less than Louises tango is beyond me

Danny doesn't get enough credit for how good he is & always has been, that was bloody amazing!!!

I do not even watch this show but have watched several clips of the pair dancing... I am simply speechless... wow 😮

This is how you know the man upstairs LOVES dance. I'm on 5% and was going to switch off my phone then the DOTI notification pops up. #praise That was a very hot dance!! 😍

Danny should have definitely won strictly. He was, and is, the best that’s been on.

Amazing!!! Wow. I’m a US citizen so I don’t watch Strictly Come Dancing but this is the one of the best Argentine tangos I have ever seen. Who is this Danny Mac guy? Folks saying he might be the best contestant to ever be on Strictly Come Dancing and I can see why. 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽

Love Danny and Oti great pairing ❤️

Danny Mac was in a league of his own. Those flicks and kicks were very snappy and precise.

Brilliant! He is a strong male contender to win this competition!

Perfect partners

I'm no dancer.... But that looked F$£king Awesome to me....

Oti looked absolutely gorgeous tonight. I loved her outfit and the flower / clip in her hair.

This was the definition of "Fierce"... well done Danny & Oti.. deserved all 10's in my eyes...

I was blatant shocked when Craig and Darcey started criticising him. What about this wasn't perfect? He's so good, and obviously excelling, that they're nitpicking for the tiniest trace of a mistake, and it's so unfair. Louise couldn't have pulled that off.

AMAZING!!! An amazing twist on the dance we've never seen. No words to describe him. 10.

I couldn't take my eyes off her. She's so strong, sensual and excellent.

Bizarre music. Sublime dancing and story telling given what they had to work with. 10 from me.

Best celebrity and professional dancer pairing!! Danny was incredible! This dance was sexy and incredible!!

Danny and Oti must be well aware by now that no matter how awesome their routines are, the judges are going to find (or invent) excuses to not give them the marks they deserve and have deserved from week one. It's really shameful. To me this AT was miles ahead of any other this series and certainly more professional and classy than the one Louise and Kevin did last week. It's time for SCD fans to start yelling and screaming and demanding fair play here. I can't stand seeing wonderful choreography and wonderful dancing not receiving the scores they deserve. Congrats, Danny Mac and Oti on another brilliant performance.

OTI AND DANNY MAC SHOULD HAVE WON THAT YEAR!!!

How the hell did he not win the series. He has been the best male celebrity by a mile ever.

I love this more ever time I watch it

I keep looking at that cute old couple clapping quietly and I bet it these dances bring that fond memories as I'm sure this kind of dance's were where you would take a young lady you were getting to know respectably.

The BEST Argentine Tango I have seen on Strictly and to the music. Who would even dislike this!? Danny and Oti, you should be extremely proud. Choreography, lifts, legs, chemistry... Ahhhhh! 😍

He is Amazing. From 🇬🇧.

This dance was fantastic. Ore may have taken the glitterball that year, but I think most of us would agree the real winners were Danny Mac and Oti.

Heavens these 2 should go on tour. They just take my breath away

I think they fully understood the sensual nature of the dance, but, the song is about cheating, and the introduction set the scene for an argument. It was like he was sort of disgusted with her, but also the romantic chemistry between them lined every movement, because they are so attuned. Ugh, words cant express, it was like watching a section of a film and without words you feel their entire life story. It's usually like two new lovers expressing passion for the first time, but this was like a mature couple reawakening passion in the emotional battle of a painful ending and betrayal. This is very rarely the theme of the argentine tango. But nevertheless it feels like it captures the very essence of the dance.

amazing...they had to work with the song and they killed it.

Loooove Oti and he was a great partner for her. Best couple ever!

My god the footwork!! Can't even see it in slow motion!!

There's no way that's not a 40. But they can't give that now or it will seem game over. It's a pleasure to watch such accomplished performing

So many people on social media are complaining about him crying/pushing Oti after the scores just to make it clear He was really upset about his Dad and didn't want to cry on camera.

The best dance ever on Strictly.

I think I have watched this 100 times, and I still get the chills and goosebumps all over. My favourite dance ever on Strictly

Most amazing tango I’ve ever had the privilege of watching.

Thats insane footwork right there. Oti is an amazing choreographer. Love her

I honestly thought these 2 were both pros until a read comments,that was just incredible

Best Dance of the Night. Should Of Been 10's across the Board

phenomenal footwork here! as this argentine tange wasn't danced on a specific argentine tango piece of music to me it felt it actually changed the "traditional story telling" of the dance.. this story was not so much about desire, sensuality building up to have the gaucho and the girl "end up.... somewhere..", it became more a story of a conflict rising and instead of desire building up it would lead to a break up. I thought that was very original and powerful

In 2017 and still think danny mac should have won. they were the best for me

Oti's leg extensions....wow!!! Danny and Oti FTW!

This dance continues to stand the test of time, both past and present. The combination of talent, skill and chemistry between the pair is unsurpassed!

God DAMN. How this man did not win I will never know!

cant get enough of this clip just wish it was longer. danny's steps are so clean he looks like a professional dancer. love this dance

Still watching these two dance and still think they were the best ever seen on Strictly. Sheer magic they should have won that year. How they didnt is beyond me

This an amazing Tango dance! #BBC #DannyMac&Oti #Tango #IhearditthroughtheGrapevine #MarvinGaye #2024USA❤🧡💛💚💙💜

The best strictly couple.

This has always been my favourite Argentine tango ever! no one has ever danced as good and exciting as Danny and Oti. This should have scored 40. No wonder Len Goodman was cross with Darcy and Craig. Bruno and Len explained why it should have scored more. Perfect dance, well executed. They were robbed.

Best male celebrity dancer ever by a country mile.

He’s so underrated. He deserved a lot more than 2 9’s and 2 10’s.
