Oti Mabuse is celebrating her first Christmas as a mother, after welcoming her first daughter with husband of nine years, Marius Iepure.
The Strictly Come Dancing star confirmed her baby’s arrival on Christmas Day and whilst the exact date of her birth or name are still a mystery, Oti has now shared new photos of her baby, much to the delight of family and friends.

“How do we feel???? Let me see… like having a hangover without the alcohol - little moments where @mariusiepure and I look at each other and laugh and ask ‘how confused do you feel? At 3:34am’. Celebrating dirty diapers and cursing at Instagram moms who make this look easy. Pumping non-stop and still finding time to shower (I got 10 min today - felt like winning the lottery) all in all, having the best time and loving every milestone,” she wrote.

Proud auntie Motsi Mabuse, who spent Christmas Day alongside Oti and her baby daughter, wrote: “We miss you all so much already.”
