Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse told fans she's 'not ok' as she was unexpectedly left emotional. The dancer and TV star got ahead of herself as she got thinking about her baby daughter's future.
Oti and her husband Marius Lepure announced their daughter's arrival on Christmas Day. At the time, the proud new parents took to Instagram with a snap of them and their baby girl. They could be seen beaming with happiness in their matching festive pyjamas as they gazed down at their new bundle of joy alongside the beloved pet dog, Leo.
But Oti has since opened up about her first child's arrival into the world, explaining that her daughter, whose name hasn't been shared publically, was born "prematurely" in October and was put in an incubator with jaundice.

Discussing the difficult birth of her daughter, Oti, who developed sepsis meaning her daughter - who was born two months early - was at risk of being infected when she was born, said on This Morning last month: "She was in the NICU for about six weeks, she came two months early, which was totally unexpected.
"And actually I gave birth at the UCLH, it was so amazing the NHS and I've said this so many times. I don't usually get sick so I'm never usually in hospital and so I never really have to use the NHS that much but then I really needed them and they were incredible. We were taken care of so much."
Oti has been sharing updates and glimpses into her new life as a mum and in her latest, the Dancing on Ice judge was seen getting emotional as she travelled on the train.
