Latin dance champion Oti Mabuse is best known for being a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing. Mabuse was on Strictly for seven years and won twice during her time on the series.<\/p>\n

Since leaving the show, she has gone on to become a judge on Dancing on Ice as well as a panellist on The Masked Dancer.<\/p>\n

The dancer recently made headlines after announcing the birth of her baby on Christmas Day, nine weeks after she had given birth.<\/p>\n

She opened up to Giovanna Fletcher on her podcast, Happy Mum, Happy Baby that her daughter had been in critical condition after being born premature.<\/p>\n

Speaking of her birth, Mabuse said (via Hello!): \u201cWhen I saw her for the first time I was shocked that I had done it. And she was the most beautiful human being I had ever seen in my life, gorgeous!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was serene, it was happy, it was everything that I wanted. The last bit was not what I had wanted, when you see your child for two minutes before they are taken away by a group of 10 midwives and doctors, and that\u2019s when things start to change and that\u2019s when things start to hit you.\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
