"This obviously was a huge adjustment for my body, mental health and stamina and came with with another huge but beautiful life lesson. I am creating a human-being and whatever my body needs I should listen to it But now that I can walk, run, lift weights again… i'm excited to get active again." Referring to the moment in the footage where she shakes her bum for the camera, Oti finished her Instagram caption writing: "And this new ass… OH MY DAYS I love it."

Hinting her due date may be sooner than people think, she went on to hint on Instagram that her "beautiful journey" is "nearly over", joking that "Christmas is about to get even louder". Oti told her followers: "Our 'yes' year is getting better and better and so is our little family. We feel finally ready and excited to share our wonderful news. This is new for us scarier than swimming with sharks, jumping off cliffs or even swinging from bridges but the best news we could have ever ask for."

Oti also used Instagram to share how she broke the news of her pregnancy to friends and family, including her proud big sister Motsi. Captioning the video montage of various loved ones being told the good news, Oti wrote: "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 that first and secondly trimester can we super super challenging. Really grateful."
