Oti Mabuse reveals how her close friend Steph McGovern moved out of her own home to let her stay for six weeks when her newborn daughter was hospitalised


Oti Mabuse has recalled how her 'really, really good friend' Steph McGovern came to her aid after the 'traumatic' birth of her daughter last year.

Oti's parents 'dropped everything' and flew from South Africa to support the couple and her sister, Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse also spent Christmas with them (pictured with her mum) 'Mom especially - I couldn’t do this without her we fight and laugh about it but she cooks, cleans, washes, helps watch the little when when we work and forgets that it’s our baby not hers but she is super mom and I hope one day to be a fraction of the mother she is.' Oti, whose husband is fellow dancer Marius Iepure, was diagnosed with sepsis during the birth and her daughter had infections as a result, leading to a six week stay in NICU.
