I'm A Celeb star Oti Mabuse reveals she is taking part in the gruelling ITV show to 'catch up on sleep' after giving birth to her first child last year


Oti Mabuse has joked the reason she is taking part on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is to catch up on sleep after welcoming her first baby.

Oti gave birth to her first child, a daughter, on Christmas Day last year, with her husband and fellow pro dancer Marius Lepure. Despite cooking for her daughter at home, Oti says she doesn't regard herself as a chef and will be far happier chopping up an octopus' tentacle than trying to put together a delicious meal. Keen for viewers to see her away from the glamorous showbiz world, Oti predicts her fellow Dancing on Ice judges will be surprised to see her pop up on the programme but thinks some of herold colleagues on Strictly might be secretly pleased she is having to face up to her big fears.
