Motsi shared the same photo of Oti, Marius and their baby and wrote: "Congratulations [balloon and party popper emoji] Merry Christmas." She also tagged her sister and brother-in-law. Oti was flooded with messages after she shared her news on Christmas Day morning.

Strictly's Dianne Buswell wrote: "congratulations beautiful." The winner of the 2023 series Ellie Leach added: "congratulations!!!!!!!." Presenter Rylan Clark gushed: "Oh gyal congratsssssss!!!!!!!!" Professional dancer Gorka Marquez commented: "BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT." Former Strictly star James Jordan added: "What a perfect Christmas for all of you - sending love from the Jordan’s."

Oti previously called her baby a "miracle" after she had been "trying to conceive for a while". The new mum shared her pregnancy news live on ITV's Oti Mabuse's Breakfast Show. Hugging her husband, Oti told viewers the couple had been "holding in some good news". She said: "Speaking of things that you didn't know at home, we have a little something for all of you, we've been holding some good news. We're having a baby!" She went on to say her "beautiful journey" is "nearly over", joking that " Christmas is about to get even louder".

Oti also shared the sweet moment she told her sister Motsi she was pregnant. She shared a montage of clips telling her friends and family about her pregnancy, with older sister and Strictly judge Motsi struggling to hide her emotion. The video also showed the dancer's other sibling, Phemelo, jumping up and down with delight before breaking down in tears.

The dancer explained she kept their baby news secret for many months as the first two trimesters can be "super super challenging". Oti added that she and Marius had stopped trying to conceive before she fell pregnant because "it all just got too much". Oti decided to step away from Strictly after seven years and two wins on the show in 2022. The dancer went on to become a judge on Dancing On Ice and also hosted her own dating show Romeo & Duet.
