The dancer shared an adorable photo to Instagram showing herself with her growing bump on display in a tight orange dress.

Fellow dancer Marius smiles lovingly at Oti as he cradles her bump.

Meanwhile, the couple’s daughter is seen reaching up to touch Oti’s bump too. Above the family was a board that read: “Baby number 2.”

Oti captioned the post: “Plot twist…

“We thought we had our hands full already, but life had even bigger plans. Baby No. 2 is joining the dance party, and our hearts (and house) are about to get a whole lot fuller.”

Fans are over the moon for Oti, including many of her celebrity friends.

Fellow Strictly star Gorka Marquez said: “AMAZING NEWS GUYS.”

Oti’s sister Motsi Mabuse added: “We love you, congratulations. The bigger the better.”

We thought we had our hands full already, but life had even bigger plans.

Meanwhile, Zoe Ball wrote: “Ahhhh gorgeous news you guys. Big love coming atcha.”

Oti later appeared on Thursday’s edition of Loose Women, where she admitted the first trimester of her second pregnancy has been hard.

Revealing she has suffered from morning sickness, Oti said: “I got loads of that, I would get it even at work. Sometimes I’d just be quiet on the panel to make sure the nausea goes away.

“I’d drink loads of peppermint tea, that was my thing, and ginger tea. Yeah, first trimester was hard. But like anything, you get over it, I survived it.”

She added that she is four months along her pregnancy.

Oti also revealed she has told her daughter the news. She said: “She wakes up in the morning and pats my belly and she goes, ‘Good morning baby.’”

Oti Mabuse on her daughter’s milestone

Oti and Marius welcomed a daughter in 2023.

Oti’s daughter was born two months early with an infection, and as a result was kept in intensive care at the University College London Hospital for six weeks.

Last December, Oti marked an emotional milestone with her daughter on Instagram. Alongside a photo of herself holding her little girl, Oti wrote: “23rd of December will always live in my heart.

Oti added: “Fast forward. She’s vibrant. She’s talkative, she’s hilarious. She is surrounded by love and she is the biggest blessing of our lives.”
