She revealed she’s six months pregnant with her first child last week, gushing, “This is the best news we could have ever asked for”.

In a heartwarming clip she shared with her 664k Instagram followers, former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse, 33, revealed private footage she’s been secretly compiling over the last six, including the moment she and her husband Romanian-born Marius Lepure, 36, found out they were expecting, and their loved ones’ touching reaction to their happy news.

Oti – who married the fellow dancer in 2014 – said she had initially “given up” on trying to conceive because “nothing was happening”.

Cradling her growing baby bump in a series of snaps she also shared with fans, Oti wrote, “We love this bundle of joy so much already.... and can’t wait to see what our future looks like now as a family of three plus Leo [their dog]."

Hinting that her due date is just around the corner, she added, “It’s been a beautiful journey so far with close friends and family and it’s nearly over, but we’ve learnt a lot along the way... Christmas is about to get even louder.”
