PREPARING FOR HER FIRST MOTHER'S DAY AS A MUM OTI MABUSE TELLS US HOW HER LIFE HAS CHANGED STRICTLY FOR THE BETTER SINCE THE ARRIVAL OF HER BABY GIRL

Speaking exclusively to HELLO! the former Strictly Come Dancing star says welcoming her baby girl with husband. Marius Iepure has turned her into someone completely different.

"Me as a mum is more confident, more self-assured," she says. "I'm tired, but everything I do is for a purpose and I enjoy this new me. The new normal is exhausting, but so rewarding.

"It's a new world and everything has changed. Everything. I still don't feel like myself because I am embracing this new me. I don't want to feel like my old self."

NO TIME FOR CRITICS

And this newfound confidence means she doesn't care any more if she gets criticised on social media.

"I used to have conversations about body confidence and how it used to make me feel and now I'm like, our bodies, as women, are creating life and creating food. Anything beyond that really doesn't matter, especially as a new mum in the public eye."

Her bond with her precious daughter whose name she chooses to keep private is “amazing”, she says, adding the baby is “healthy, she’s happy. She’s a very calm, gorgeous angel! We enjoy spending a lot of time with her.”
