Oti Mabuse explains why she is doing I’m A Celebrity months after becoming a mum

Oti Mabuse has joined the lineup I'm A Celeb 2024. Ahead of the launch, she shares her daughter is the real reason she signed up.

Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse has revealed it was tough to leave her family for I’m A Celebrity 2024, but her daughter is the real reason she is heading down under.
