Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse has revealed that she would “love to grow my little family” despite sharing her “lifetime struggle”. The 34-year-old dancer welcomed her one-year-old daughter with her husband Marius Lepure back in November 2023 and suffered complications with her birth.

The youngster was born 10 weeks prematurely, weighing under 3lbs, and was kept in a incubator for six weeks. After her birth, Oti was diagnosed with sepsis, pre-diabetes and pelvic pain. Thankfully, the pair made a full recovery and thriving as a family of three who have recently moved into a new home.

Now, the former Strictly Come Dancing star – who has teamed up with eBay on its List to £1k Spring Cleaning Challenge – has revealed that her traumatic birth hasn’t put her off having more children in the future.

In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the TV star has opened up about her future baby plans with her doting husband. She told us: “I would love to have more children, I’ve never shied away from that.

“I think it’s a matter of time and obviously if God allows it. Only God will say no is the right time, but yes, I would love to grow my little family.” Speaking about how her life has changed as a working mum, she told us: “It is a juggle as a working mum.

"It is such a big, big juggle and sometimes you’re working and you’re like, ‘Yes, I’m doing this for you’ and then you’re tired and you have to push yourself to still be present with your child.

“So that struggle, I’m still finding it. Planning is something that we find really, really important and it really, really helps, but I think it will be a lifetime struggle."

The TV star went on: "It’s a whirlwind. Having your children is a complete change of lifestyle and I think nobody is really ready for it and it takes time.

“It’s also about prioritising and getting as much help from friends and family as possible because you do need that community, and you will need your friends, someone to cry on, someone to lean on.”

It comes after Oti teamed up with eBay for their new List to £1k Spring Cleaning Challenge in a bid to help Brits unlock the value in their homes by encouraging 80 per cent of people who admit to having unused items in their homes to make some extra cash by selling them on the popular retail website.

Speaking about her passion for the campaign, Oti gushed: "I love to clean, it gives me a sense of freedom and for my mental health and my mental space to know that where I'm resting at home is somewherre I can relax and feel myself.

"For me, working with people like eBay and this campaign of spring cleaning and taking out some of the times that I don't use anymore in my life and putting them up and knowing that they're going to somewhere safe and they're going to be loved so that I can spring clean and have my space is something that I enjoy as well."
