During the weekend chat show, Oti and her 40-year-old Romanian dancer husband joined guests Marisha Wallace and Chizzy Akudolu for a dance routine. However, in a surprising twist, the couple revealed at the end of the episode that they are expecting a baby.
Embracing her husband, Oti began the final segment of the show as usual before teasing that they had some "good news" to share. She excitedly exclaimed, "Speaking of things that you didn't know at home, we have a little something for all of you—we've been holding some good news. We're having a baby!"
As the crew cheered, Oti and Marius shared a warm embrace, while the guests, Marisha and Chizzy, looked stunned by the unexpected revelation.
Following the live announcement, Oti took to Instagram to share joyful photos of herself cradling her baby bump alongside Marius. Donning a beautiful pink off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, she radiated happiness and expressed both excitement and fear in the caption. Oti hinted at her due date, mentioning that their "beautiful journey" is almost over, and playfully teased that "Christmas is about to get even louder."
The couple has received an outpouring of congratulations from their famous friends. Rylan, former co-host of Strictly's spin-off show It Takes Two, expressed his surprise, while Strictly's Diane Buswell and Laura Whitmore shared their well wishes. Former Strictly star and actress Kym Marsh and singer Mollie King also sent their congratulations.
Oti and Marius met in Germany during a dance trial and have since competed together in various competitions. Marius proposed to Oti on his birthday in 2014, and they tied the knot later that same year. Although Marius hasn't participated in Strictly like his wife, he has appeared on two seasons of the German show Let's Dance.
Oti recently shared how supportive Marius has been, moving to England to be with her as she pursued her career on Strictly. The couple is now eagerly anticipating the arrival of their little bundle of joy, which will transform their family of two into a family of three, including their beloved dog, Leo.
