Pregnant Oti Mabuse says her husband is already asking her to have another baby despite her battling 'every pregnancy symptom known to humanity' including 'heartburn, no sleep and random crying'

Oti Mabuse has revealed her husband Marius Lepure is already asking her to have another baby, despite her battling 'every pregnancy symptom known to humanity' while carrying their second child.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 35, and her dancer husband, 43, announced they were expecting another baby back in June, with couple posing for sweet Instagram snaps alongside their eldest child.

However, despite not having yet welcomed their new addition, Marius is already looking forward to expanding their brood – much to his wife's chagrin. 

Sharing a funny clip on Instagram, the couple were seen sitting in front of the camera while listening to an audio of a woman, who is presumably a midwife, breaking down the changes a woman can expect to her body in her 23rd week of pregnancy.

Listening to the audio, Oti and Marius's expressions significantly changed as the midwife listed a whole manner of symptoms including rib pain, breathlessness, dizziness, haemorrhoids, indigestion, bleeding gums and leg cramps. 

While Oti pursed her lips at the thought of what her body could endure, a grimacing Marius sympathetically stroked her arm before he jokingly gets up to leave as the extremities of the symptoms became too much to hear. 

Alongside the clip, Oti added words over the top which read: 'POV watching the guy who's asking me for a 3rd baby hear what I'm going through,' adding that he was even hoping for a fourth child.

Captioning her post, Oti further expressed her annoyance at her husband's request, while also taking the opportunity to promote her More4 show with the Rev Richard Coles. 

After urging people to watch so that she gets more TV shows so that her husband will stop asking for babies, Oti penned: 'I’m still growing THIS one! 

'I haven’t even delivered this baby yet, and somehow he’s already talking about “the next one.” Sir… I’m currently experiencing every pregnancy symptom known to humanity. 

'Heartburn? Tick. No sleep? Tick. Random crying? Tick. Needing a wee every five minutes? DOUBLE TICK. So let’s focus on this baby first… and then we’ll revisit your recruitment campaign.'

The South African professional dancer took to Instagram in June to reveal she is expecting a new addition to the family, sharing a series of sweet snaps with Marius and their daughter, two, while showing off her new bump.

In an accompanying caption Oti wrote: 'Plot twist… We thought we had our hands full already, but life had even bigger plans. 

'Baby No. 2 is joining the dance party, and our hearts (and house) are about to get a whole lot fuller.'

The couple's two-year-old daughter, who was born ten weeks prematurely, suffered a traumatic birth and contracted sepsis. 

Oti and choreographer Marius, who tied the knot in 2014, have never publicly revealed their daughter's name. 

Despite admitting she was left suffering after the birth, when asked if she would like more children, Oti previously said: 'I'd like as many as I can afford. What I have been through shocked me, but it made me even stronger.

'For the first time in my life I have a purpose, which is for my family to have a good life. You can imagine if I'm ambitious in my work, how ambitious I am as a mum...

'This industry has its ups and downs but I love it and I'm doing it all for my baby and my husband. I'm the breadwinner and I am taking care of my family."

In 2024, Oti detailed the trauma of giving birth and the subsequent pain of seeing her daughter so ill: 'You hug but then the baby gets taken away. 

'And then the next time you see them they're in a box, wired up, not well, under blue light.

'I remember crying because I couldn't get the wheelchair close to her bed. Emotionally it was very exhausting. I didn't get to hold her for about a week.

'In the moment I was not traumatised. It was all I knew. Even when you have moments of weakness, when you feel like, "Oh my God, I'm discombobulating".

'You do what you have to do to be a good mum, to be strong for your daughter and be there for her, to change her and feed her and do skin to skin.'
