The suicide tragedy that rocked I'm a Celeb star Oti Mabuse's family life as star is praised for opening up


The Strictly star, 34, tragically revealed that her half-brother Neo died while they were growing up. Oti said: 'I think it's really good that you keep saying people must talk, especially young boys.'

Oti Mabuse stressed how important it is for men to talk to each other during Wednesday's episode of I'm A Celeb, as she disclosed that her brother took his own life when he was just sixteen years old. Speaking of grief amongst her family she explains: 'Every year we celebrate his birthday, but it's the people that are still left with the aftermath that feel it every single day and you have to go out in the world and be strong and happy and bubbly and positive, but it's tough. The dancing professional recalled the haunting time when her family were shunned from their neighbours in South Africa who believed Neo's death was a bad omen.
