Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse has spoken for the first time about the “traumatic” birth of her first child.

The 33-year-old has revealed her baby daughter was born “very premature”, and spent six weeks in hospital, before being allowed home just before Christmas.

The professional dancer also detailed her 16-hour labour, which ended up with her baby being taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit ward.

Speaking on the Happy Mum Happy Baby: The Podcast, the Dancing On Ice judge told Georgina Fletcher how she was also diagnosed with sepsis during the birth.
