OTI Mabuse says she is grateful her baby was born in the UK after she arrived eight weeks early.

The ex-Strictly Come Dancing star gave birth last year to her first child, who spent six weeks in intensive care.

Speaking of the countries where she and her husband were born, Oti, 34, said: "In South Africa and Romania, they don't help children who are born as young as she was, so we were very, very lucky."
