Oti Mabuse Fires Back at Trolls Over I’m A Celebrity Baby Drama

Last year, when Oti Mabuse faced criticism for leaving her baby daughter during her participation in “I’m A Celebrity,” she boldly responded to the critics.

In November 2023, the skilled dancer, aged 34, and her husband, Marius Lepure, welcomed a new addition to their family. Their little girl was born early and contracted an infection, requiring six weeks of treatment in the intensive care unit.

In the subsequent year, Oti ventured into the jungle for her job as well as to take a much-deserved break for personal relaxation.

Even though her baby was with his father, Oti’s plan to travel to Australia for a month wasn’t met with approval by many fans.

She shared with The Sun, “Indeed, I faced judgment. What’s striking is the presence of numerous fathers in that setting. Many people fail to understand my personal circumstances, family dynamics, and relationship. The general sentiment appeared to be, ‘Why would you abandon your child?’

I must head off to work, otherwise we wouldn’t have food. Working doesn’t mean I don’t adore my child, but she understands that Mommy works while she attends nursery.

It’s beneficial for her to learn the importance of being a strong woman. I wish she admires me, realizing that her mother puts in a lot of effort. She appears content. Above all else, she is my top priority.

After Oti disclosed the manner in which Marius asked for her hand in marriage, she also mentioned the one mistake he made in his proposal.

On The Jonathan Ross Show last month, the Strictly celebrity shared her story about a tense day back in 2014 that culminated with Marius proposing by getting down on one knee.

However, the evening didn’t unfold as expected. He chose an uncommon film for their date night, followed by dinner, but she found it not to her liking and expressed it as ‘it just wasn’t my style.’

Reflecting on that thrilling day with a gleam in my eye, I shared with Jonathan: “I remember how eager he was to catch the movie Planet of the Apes. His nerves were palpable. He led me to the pulsating rhythm of Hard Rock Cafe, blasting metal rock – a soundscape far from my comfort zone.

We visited a hotel, where it happened to be his birthday. As I was preparing to retire for the night, he asked me to hold off, wanting to wait till the end of the day. Then he proposed by saying, “Will you marry me?” and presented me with a ring. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, minus the monkeys!

On Christmas Eve, Oti posted numerous charming photos of her precious daughter and their large family, expressing that the little one brings them immense happiness.

At 28 weeks pregnant, Oti was found to have gestational diabetes, a condition that preceded her pregnancy. Post-delivery, she faced additional difficulties as she developed sepsis.

Previously known Strictly Come Dancing celebrity had a natural delivery and claimed she was humming “Chicago” throughout the process. However, complications arose later on.

In the program where Brian Cox, Christina Hendricks, and Chris McCausland were present, Oti shared her thoughts on motherhood, stating: “She’s a one-year-old now – a one with plenty of attitude! She doesn’t appreciate being told what to do; instead, she tells us what to do.

For about a year now, she hasn’t had consistent sleep patterns. In the dead of night, she suddenly gets up and begins to dance instead.

About her daughter pursuing a career similar to hers as a dancer, she mentioned: ‘I don’t necessarily wish for my child to follow the same path. I’ll back her in any choice she makes, and secretly, I dream that she’d become an astronaut.’

As a passionate admirer, I yearn for her to venture into new realms. While dancing has been a profound source of joy and growth for me, I can’t help but wish she would broaden her horizons and delve into other experiences as well.
