Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse is officially heading into the jungle for I'm A Celeb and has said having her baby is the reason why she’s heading to the other side of the world.

Oti, 34, confessed: “Now I have had my baby daughter, I want to get back to the adventurous and fun Oti.” Oti gave birth to her daughter last November and says that while she wants to take on this adventure, she knows it’ll be tough leaving her one-year-old at home.

Oti added: “Of course not seeing my daughter is going to be hard. She is going to be one of my biggest motivators.” The star also said she hopes to use motherhood to her advantage in more ways than one. “I am going to catch up on a whole year’s sleep” but also insists she’d like to be a “comfort mum in camp” and said she’d happily listen to her fellow campmates’ stories, as well as motivate them.

She also revealed that her husband, Marius, is “really excited” about her taking part. And Oti also expressed she’s pleased to let her competitive nature out.
