Oti Mabuse has recalled her husband being asked for proof that their daughter was his while at border control. The dancer and TV star and her professional dancer Marius Lepure welcomed their first child into the world last October.

They confirmed they had become first-time parents on Christmas Day 2023 by taking to Instagram with an adorable photo in which they wore matching festive pyjamas as they gazed lovingly at their baby girl alongside their beloved pet dog, Leo.

It wasn't until later that told how their daughter, whose name hasn't been shared publicly, had actually been born prematurely, two months earlier than expected, with Oti recently sharing how her waters broke in the middle of the street while out shopping.
