Oti Mabuse Masters Reflects On Multitasking As New Mom On Dancing On Ice

Dancing On Ice’s audience recently witnessed the remarkable multitasking skills of professional dancer Oti Mabuse, who made a stunning return to the judging panel just three weeks after welcoming her child into the world.

Oti, 33, effortlessly combined motherhood with her television commitments, showcasing her dedication as she pumped breastmilk while preparing for the show. In a video shared on social media, she remarked, “We just had the dress run,” all the while managing her motherly duties.

With her hairstylist playfully mimicking the sound of the breast pump, Oti stated, “I’ve got to feed my child! We are making it work.”

Even during her preparation, Oti found time for some lighthearted banter with fellow judge Ashley Banjo, who affectionately called her ‘mummy Mabuse.’ Oti jokingly protested, “No, don’t call me that,” to which Ashley responded, “but you are a mummy?” Oti playfully retorted, “but you make me sound like an African old mum… like I own a tuck shop at the corner of the street!”

When it was time to take the ice, Oti stunned in a sequinned Nina Ricci gown with a striking bow on the shoulder and a daring thigh-high split.

Viewers quickly showered praise on the new mom, applauding her incredible look and congratulating her on motherhood. One fan wrote, “The judges are looking amazing tonight especially Oti, and massive congrats to her and her baby ❤️ #DancingOnIce.”

Oti joyfully announced the birth of her first child on Christmas Day via Instagram. The heartwarming post featured Oti and her husband Marius Iepure, dressed in festive onesies, cradling their newborn and beaming with happiness.

“Merry Christmas Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and special memories with loved ones,” she captioned.

Oti’s sister, Strictly host Motsi, shared her own photo alongside her husband, Evgenij Voznyuk expressing excitement for being an aunt to a baby girl. She joyfully exclaimed, “Merry Christmas call us Auntie & Uncle!! Welcome to the family baby girl @otimabuse & @mariusiepure welcome to parenthood lol it’s going to be fun.”

Oti and Marius initially surprised fans with the news of their pregnancy on August 26 during Oti’s own ITV breakfast show.
