Wendy and Alison sit down with the multi-talented Oti Mabuse. Known for her dazzling performances on Strictly Come Dancing and her role as a judge on Dancing on Ice, Oti opens up about her journey into motherhood, her experiences with a premature birth, and how she's balancing family life with her flourishing career.
Oti shares the story of her daughter's early arrival and the unexpected challenges her family faced during those initial weeks in the neonatal unit. She talks about the support she received from the NHS, the importance of skin-to-skin bonding, and the delicate balance of caring for a premature baby.
Oti reflects on her active pregnancy and the societal pressures on women to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies, and how she's embracing her new role as a mother.
Oti also touches on her excitement about her upcoming romance novel, set to be released in 2025, and the importance of representation of black women in literature.
