Whilst the dancer hasn't confirmed her exact due date, she has hinted to fans that her new arrival could come this side of Christmas as she previously shared that their "beautiful journey" is "nearly over" and teased that "Christmas is about to get even louder".

Oti has also opened up to fans about how she told her sister Motsi about her 'miracle' pregnancy - recalling how she and Marcus had been "trying to conceive for a while". Sister Motsi, who is a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, was overcome with emotion as she learned of her sibling's baby news.

Taking to Instagram, Oti shared a montage of clips telling her friends and family about her pregnancy, including a sweet clip with older sister Motsi struggling to hide her emotion. The video also showed the dancer's other sister Phemelo jumping up and down as she heard the news. In the clip Oti's husband Marius holds up the couple's positive pregnancy test for the camera, with the dancer explaining that she kept their baby news secret for many months as the first two trimesters can be "super super challenging".

She captioned the clip: "BREAKING THE NEWS TO FAMILY & FRIENDS. Living in a different country as a couple means you don’t have family around to break the news face to face to. And most often friends became family we are so extremely lucky with our group of friends, *disclaimer* this isn’t all of them not enough video space, but we kept our circle really tight, full of positive energy, laughter and joy. Because the first and second trimesters can we super super challenging. Really grateful."
