Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse has given birth to her first child.

The professional dancer shared her wonderful news on Instagram on Christmas Day.

The new mum wrote: “Merry Christmas. Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and special memories with loved ones.”

The post was quickly flooded with loving messages from the dancer’s loved ones, as well as her fans.

One wrote: “Congratulations and Merry Christmas!!! Motherhood looks magical this festive season.”

“You are going to have the most magical Christmas ever,” a second wrote.

“Ahhhh Oti this is beautiful!! Huge congratulations to you and Marius,” another said.

A fourth added: “OMG!! You had her!! Congratulations to you both!! What a wonderful Christmas present! Hope you are good Mama!”

Oti revealed she was pregnant with her first child in late August.

The new mum posted a beautiful photo of her cradling her baby bump to announce the news.

Oti said she couldn’t wait for her little family to get bigger.

“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.

“We love our little bundle of joy so much already… and can’t wait to see what our future will now look like as a family of 3 plus Leo.”

Oti Mabuse said her pregnancy was a “beautiful journey” and couldn’t wait for Christmas to get even louder.

We cannot wait to find out what name the mum gave her beautiful newborn.
