Oti Mabuse has given an insight into her impressive weight loss journey over the last two months as she has dropped down to a size 10 since welcoming her baby girl at the end of 2023.The dancer and TV personality, who announced on Christmas Day that she had welcomed her first child, took to Instagram to share a video showing snippets of her journey where she was seen hitting the gym and working to fit into a pair of jeans.

The star - who suffered a traumatic labour last year - admitted that the reason behind her decision to lose weight is her upcoming dance tour, Viva Carnival, which kicks off in June 2025.

Alongside the video, which was filmed over a couple of months, Oti wrote: "This journey has been one of the toughest but most beautiful experiences of my life.

When I decided to go on tour, I knew that the first step wasn’t just about rehearsals, it was about changing my mindset, my diet, and how I physically feel. "Coming from a size 18 to a size 10 wasn’t just about the number on the scale— it was about *feeling* stronger, healthier, and more alive.
