Oti Mabuse is wowing viewers with her sweet charm in this year’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! The former Strictly Come Dancing pro has joined a stellar line-up that includes Coleen Rooney, GK Barry, Jane Moore, and Danny Jones, reports OK!
In her private life, the 34 year old dance sensation has undergone an incredible transformation, shedding a significant amount of weight before her jungle stint, following the birth of her first child with hubby Marius Lepure. Oti shared a glimpse into her weight loss journey on Instagram, revealing she slimmed down to a size 10 ahead of her much-anticipated dance tour, Viva Carnival, which is set to start in June 2025.
In a heartfelt post accompanied by a video montage of her fitness regime and efforts to zip up those jeans, Oti said: “This journey has been one of the toughest but most beautiful experiences of my life. When I decided to go on tour, I knew that the first step wasn’t just about rehearsals, it was about changing my mindset, my diet, and how I physically feel.”
She went on to detail her transformation from a size 18 to a size 10, emphasising that it wasn’t solely about the numbers: “Coming from a size 18 to a size 10 wasn’t just about the number on the scale – it was about *feeling* stronger, healthier, and more alive. After my pregnancy, dealing with gestational diabetes meant I had to be even more mindful of my health, especially being pre-diabetic. So I started to change how I approached food, movement, and how I looked at my own body.”
Continuing to share her news, she said: “This journey isn’t about getting “skinny. ” It’s about gaining strength, confidence, and discipline in a way that feels sustainable and true to me. And honestly? It hasn’t been easy. Changing lifelong habits, trying new foods, pushing my body in ways I never have before- it’s been hard work. But the results? Wow. To see my body transform, not just in shape, but in how it feels… that’s a win every day. I’m proud of where I am, at whatever size, and I want every woman to feel that sense of pride too.”
Fans applauded the star for her candidness, while Oti concluded by inviting her 705K followers to join her on her journey, saying: “This isn’t just my journey. It’s MY journey. I would love for you to come along with me-to feel empowered, to feel strong, and to live life fully! Let’s celebrate together our beautiful road to health. And speaking of celebrations… Viva Carnival is more than just a dance show, it’s a movement! Get your tickets, let’s do this together.
