As a devoted admirer of Oti Mabuse, I can confidently say that her life journey is nothing short of inspiring. From her electrifying performances on Strictly Come Dancing to her recent triumph as a mother, she has consistently demonstrated resilience and grace in the face of adversity.


Oti Mabuse has announced her new UK tour Viva Carnival which will kick off in June 2025.

34-year-old dance judge from Strictly Come Dancing is preparing for a summer of dancing, as they embark on a nationwide tour starting in Sheffield and concluding at the Adelphi Theatre in London.

The dancer will additionally visit Gateshead, Norwich, Manchester, Blackpool, Guildford, Birmingham, and Bath as well.

Oti expressed great enthusiasm about presenting Viva Carnival on stage, as performing there holds a deep-seated passion for her and she’s really been missing it!

‘Dance has the power to bring people together and I can’t wait to party with everyone.’

11th September is when pre-sales for the tickets begin, while they’ll be available to everyone starting at 10am on the 12th of September.

It has been reported that discussions are underway for I’m A Celebrity bosses to have Oti on their ITV show later this year.

The former Strictly Come Dancing pro could be gearing up to become a campmate a year on from the traumatic birth of her daughter. 

In November, Oti and her spouse Marius Lepure, aged 41, disclosed that they welcomed a new addition to their family. However, their little one arrived earlier than expected, battling an infection which required six weeks of treatment in the intensive care unit.

The dancer also experienced complications after the birth when she was diagnosed with sepsis.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share the thrilling rumor that has me on cloud nine! From what I’ve gathered, according to The Sun, she might be stepping into the jungle towards the end of this year. An insider even mentioned that the show bosses are beyond ecstatic about this potential turn of events!

According to a source, it was mentioned to the publication that Oti might be an excellent choice for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’. She is highly regarded and enjoyed by the ITV audience, which makes the show’s executives extremely happy if she could appear as a contestant this year.

She is widely regarded as an integral member of the ITV family of celebrities, consistently bringing a lot of entertainment.

TopMob has contacted ITV and Oti’s representative for comment.

It’s been very transparent of Oti about her harrowing childbirth experience, as she shared details on how her newborn daughter’s life was miraculously preserved by the National Health Service following a severe sepsis ordeal.

On the weekend, I shared with The Sun that it felt incredibly comforting when someone asked me about my feelings and how I’m navigating these unfamiliar emotions.

After giving birth, sepsis was detected in my case. Just to clarify, this wasn’t something that went unnoticed; it’s important to understand that correctly, since I’ve seen misunderstandings about it before.

Originally, my newborn girl suffered from an infection. The physicians took care of it for her, and since then, we’ve been solely concentrating on ensuring her swift recovery, rather than worrying excessively.

Previously on Strictly Come Dancing, the professional dancer expressed that she had faith in the medical team, believing they were providing her daughter with the most optimal care and keeping her safe.

In her own words, Oti stated that the newborn needed to figure out eating independently and breathing on their own. However, she confessed that the neonatal unit was largely unfamiliar territory for her. Yet, she praised the team for doing a remarkable job.

Fans were taken aback when she disclosed her decision to depart from Strictly Come Dancing, having won the title twice, following her seven-year tenure, in the year 2022.

In the past two years, Oti has been victorious in the Glitterball contest, partnering with Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher and comedian Bill Bailey. This success has led some spectators to predict that Oti might achieve an extraordinary three-year win streak.

However, during a talk on the All Change podcast last year, Oti confessed that managing the celebrity contestants’ demands and the self-imposed stress became overwhelming. As a result, she sought solace and support from her spouse.

She shared that fortunately, her spouse has been incredibly supportive during challenging times when she found herself struggling and overwhelmed, sometimes even crying in the shower while still clothed. He has witnessed her navigating through complex characters.
