Oti Mabuse and Marius Lepure enjoyed day two of Big Feastival in the Cotswolds on Saturday after announcing they are expecting their first child.
The pregnant TV personality, 33, covered her baby bump with a T-shirt promoting her dance classes while she and her Romanian dancer husband, 40, smiled for photos.
Oti paired her trademark tee with skin-tight black leggings and white trainers, tying a beige sweater around her waist.
The former Strictly Come Dancing pro completed her look with a pink baseball cap and carried her belongings in a black Gucci crossbody bag.
Earlier in the day she announced live on ITV’s ‘Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show’ that she is pregnant with her first child with husband Marius Lepure.

Overjoyed: The former Strictly Come Dancing pro confirmed his surprise baby news live on ITV’s Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show earlier this morning
She was joined by her husband on their weekend chat show as he walked guests Marisha Wallace and Chizzy Akudolu through a dance routine.
But then the couple surprised both guests and viewers when they announced in the closing moments of the episode that they are expecting their first child.
Oti hugged her husband and, as usual, began the final part of her show before teasing that they had “brought some good news”.
She said: “Speaking of things you didn’t know back home, we’ve got something for you all, we’ve got good news for you. We have a baby!’
The couple then shared a warm hug as the crew was heard cheering while Marisha and Chizzy looked completely shocked by the revelation.
After confirming the news live on air, Oti shared a series of sweet snaps on Instagram of herself cradling her baby bump while posing next to Marius.
She looked stunning in a pink off the shoulder jumpsuit as she held her blossoming baby bump in her arms and flashed a big smile.
Oti snuggled up to her husband in the snaps and spoke about her pregnancy in an accompanying caption. She admitted she was “scared,” but described it as “the best news.”

Everyone’s smiling: Oti beamed as she attended the Big Feastival at Blur musician Alex James’ farm in the Cotswolds the day before the announcement of her baby news
She also hinted at her due date as she shared that her “beautiful journey” was “almost over” and teased that “Christmas is about to get even louder.”
Oti wrote, “Our ‘yes’ year just keeps getting better and so does our little family.” We finally feel ready and excited to share our wonderful news.
“This is new to us, scarier than swimming with sharks, jumping off cliffs or even swinging bridges, but the best news we could ever ask for.”
“We already love our little bundle of joy so much… and can’t wait to see what our future holds as a family of three and Leo.” So far it’s been a beautiful journey with close friends and family and almost over, but we’ve learned a lot along the way… Christmas is about to get even louder.’
Oti and Marius met at a dance competition in Germany and took part in several competitions together.
Marius popped the question to the Dancing On Ice judge on his birthday in 2014, and the couple married that same year.
In 2017, Oti shared an inside look at her proposal, hilariously recounting how she told him he was “annoying” her with his nervous behavior before asking the big question.
Three years after proposing, Oti wrote on Instagram: “Three years ago today this wonderful CRAZY man pissed me to death for acting nervous (and yes I let him know I was nervous) but only, because he was nervous about proposing.’

Dancer: While Marius hasn’t followed in his wife’s footsteps on Strictly, he’s no stranger to television, having appeared in two seasons of the German show Let’s Dance (both pictured in 2022).
‘Luck’: Oti met Marius just before she was offered Strictly and she recently gushed that her partner had moved to England to be with her while she took the opportunity
Although Marius hasn’t followed in his wife’s footsteps at Strictly, he is no stranger to television, having appeared in two seasons of the German show Let’s Dance.
Oti met Marius just before she was offered Strictly and she recently gushed that her partner had moved to England to be with her while she took the opportunity.
In June, she told the Chron’s Weekend Magazine: “I realize how lucky I’ve been.” Marius moved to England for me. He had to make many sacrifices for me and had his own goals.
“He would work in Iceland, Romania and Canada, but he would come back to spend the days I had off with me.” Sometimes he could only come back for a few hours, but he only came to Blackpool to see me to cuddle before a show.
“Whatever I want, Marius helps me get it.” He helps me remember why I do what I do. He’ll say, ‘Remember where you started. Remember how far you’ve come.’ He’s my biggest cheerleader.’
The pair have also joked about the famous Strictly curse over the years, dismissing it as they insist it doesn’t “bother” them.
Marius previously told the Chron: “I’ve heard about the Strictly curse but it doesn’t bother me at all.” “I just can’t afford to get a divorce so it’s not going to happen.”
Oti left Strictly Come Dancing after the 2021 series after being on the show for seven years. Her sister Motsi is still a judge at the BBC dance competition.

Success: She left Strictly after winning the Glitterball trophy in two consecutive years with Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, 37, and comedian Bill Bailey, 56 (pictured in 2020).
Oti wanted to pursue other TV opportunities after establishing herself as a talent show judge on ITV’s The Masked Dancer and Dancing On Ice.
She left Strictly after winning the Glitterball trophy in two consecutive years alongside Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, 37, and comedian Bill Bailey, 56.
Oti recently stressed that she has no regrets about leaving the BBC dance competition and admitted she’s happy that she doesn’t have to restrict her diet so much.
“You have to take care of your body.” “You have to look a certain way,” she said. “You have to be light enough to do certain movements.” I couldn’t eat what I wanted for so many years.
“I was literally obsessed with winning Strictly,” she admitted. “I ate, slept, drank and thought strictly about winning.” There was nothing else. You’re in a bubble, on a treadmill. It’s only when you dismount that you realize, “Oh my god, there are all these things I can do now.”
“I can sleep on a Sunday.” “I don’t wake up at 3 a.m. and think about someone’s cha-cha steps.” I’ve walked away from all of those things and I’m still alive.’
Admitting that leaving Strictly was a big gamble, she said, “It had never been done before.”
“You haven’t seen purely professional women doing that,” she explained. “That’s why I have such great admiration for Janette.” [Manrara, who quit dancing on the show to present the companion programme It Takes Two].’
