Oti Mabuse supported by Gemma Atkinson before BBC Strictly Come Dancing admission

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Oti Mabuse was applauded by Gemma Atkinson as she offered an update on her own fitness journey since becoming a mum before she gave fans a cheeky Strictly Come Dancing update.

The dancer and TV star recently told how she was 'questioning herself' over her fitness since welcoming her first child into the world last year, saying how she hoped to get back into working out three to four times a week but admitted it's "hard" and left her wondering if her fitness will ever be back to where it once was.

Oti, who announced she and her husband Marius Lepure had welcomed their daughter on Christmas Day, months after her premature birth came as a "big shock", has now shared a fresh video of her working up a sweat in the gym as she drafted in the help of personal trainer Justin Thomas-Verweij.

"Back in the groove with @justinthomas1," Oti started the caption of her post. "Loved every moment of our training sessions and embracing the strength of my body now more than ever.

Here’s to new goals and pushing limits together! The strength of my body has completely altered so I’m enjoying starting from scratch and building up again I know I have to be patient with myself and that’s been the key to all of it!
