Although, the pair have decided not to make their daughter's name public yet after she was born prematurely.

However, Oti Mabuse, 34, experienced complications after she gave birth when she contracted sepsis.

She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks, and her daughter spent six weeks in intensive care as the tot developed an infection.

Despite all of this, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional has admitted that she wants to grow her family with another kid.

The former breakfast show presenter told The Express: "I would love to have more children, I’ve never shied away from that. 

"I think it's a matter of time and obviously if God allows it. Only God will say no is the right time, but yes, I would love to grow my little family."

However, motherhood has its unique challenges, especially as Oti tries to juggle the duties with her busy showbiz career.

The former I'm A Celebrity campmate told the outlet: "It is a juggle as a working mum.

"It is such a big, big juggle and sometimes you’re working and you’re like, ‘Yes, I’m doing this for you’ and then you’re tired and you have to push yourself to still be present with your child.

"So that struggle, I’m still finding it. Planning is something that we find really, really important and it really, really helps, but I think it will be a lifetime struggle."

She added: "It’s a whirlwind. Having your children is a complete change of lifestyle and I think nobody is really ready for it and it takes time.

"It’s also about prioritising and getting as much help from friends and family as possible because you do need that community, and you will need your friends, someone to cry on, someone to lean on."

This comes as the star landed a big-money fashion deal earlier this year after she left camp in the Australian jungle.

She launched a collaboration with supermarket chain Sainsbury's to launch a new line of luxe gym wear.

Oti said of the line: "I wanted to create a range that not only makes you feel amazing but is accessible and affordable - feeling great should be for everyone!"
