Oti Mabuse and Marius Lepure had fun on Day 2 of The Big Feastival in The Cotswolds on Saturday after revealing they are expecting their first child.
The pregnant TV personality, 33, covered her baby bump with a T-shirt promoting her dance classes, as she and her Romanian dancer husband, 40, smiled for photos.
Oti paired her brand T-shirt with tight black leggings and white sneakers, while tying a beige sweater around her waist.
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional completed her look with a pink baseball cap and carried her belongings in a black Gucci crossbody bag.
Earlier in the day, she announced live on ITV’s Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show that she is pregnant with her first child with husband Marius Lepure.

Overjoyed: The former Strictly Come Dancing professional confirmed their surprise baby news live on ITV’s Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show earlier that morning
She was joined by her husband on her weekend chat show as he guided guests Marisha Wallace and Chizzy Akudolu through a dance routine.
But the couple then surprised guests and viewers alike when they announced at the end of the episode that they were expecting their first child.
Oti hugged her husband and began the final segment of her show as usual, before teasing that they’ve “got some good news.”
She said, “Speaking of things you didn’t know back home, we have something for all of you, we have good news. We’re having a child!’
The couple then shared a warm embrace as the crew cheered, while Marisha and Chizzy seemed completely shocked by the revelation.
After confirming the news live, Oti then took to Instagram to share a series of sweet snaps of herself rocking her baby bump while posing next to Marius.
She looked stunning in a pink off-the-shoulder jumpsuit as she rocked her blossoming baby bump and showed off a big smile.
Oti socialized with her husband in the snaps and talked about her pregnancy in an accompanying caption, admitting she was “scared” but describing it as “the best news.”

She also hinted at her due date when she shared that their “beautiful journey” is “almost over” and teased that “Christmas is about to get even louder.”
Oti wrote, “Our ‘yes’ year is getting better and so is our little family. We finally feel ready and excited to share our great news.
“This is new to us, scarier than swimming with sharks, jumping off cliffs or even swinging off bridges, but the best news we could have ever asked for.
“We love our little bundle of joy so much already… and can’t wait to see what our future holds as a family of three plus Leo. It has been a wonderful journey so far with close friends and family and almost over, but we have learned a lot along the way…. Christmas is about to get even louder.”
Oti and Marius met in Germany during a dance class and participated in several competitions together.
Marius popped the question to the Dancing On Ice judge on his birthday in 2014 and the couple got married the same year.
In 2017, Oti gave insight into their proposal, hilariously sharing how she told him he was “annoying” her by acting nervous before popping the big question.
Three years since proposing on Instagram, Oti wrote, “Three years ago today, this amazing, CRAZY man annoyed my life because he was nervous (and yes, I let him know I was annoyed), but that was only because he was nervous when he went to make a proposal.’

‘Lucky’: Oti met Marius just before she was offered Strictly and she recently gushed about her partner moving to England to be with her as she jumped at the chance
While Marius hasn’t followed in his wife’s footsteps with an appearance on Strictly, he’s no stranger to TV, having appeared in two seasons of the German show Let’s Dance.
Oti met Marius just before she was offered Strictly and recently raved about her partner moving to England to be with her while she took the opportunity.
She told the Daily Mail’s Weekend Magazine in June: ‘I realize how lucky I’ve been. Marius moved to England for me. He had to make many sacrifices for me and he had his own goals.
“He was going to work in Iceland, Romania and Canada, but he would come back to spend my days off with me. Sometimes he could only be back for a few hours, but he would come to Blackpool just to cuddle me before a show.
“Whatever I want, Marius will help me get it. He helps me remember why I do what I do. He will say, ‘Remember where you started. Think how far you’ve come.’ He’s my biggest cheerleader.’
The pair have also joked about the famous Strictly curse over the years, shrugging it off as they insisted it doesn’t “bother” them.
Marius previously told the Daily Mail: ‘I’ve heard about the Strictly curse, but I don’t have any problem with it. I just can’t afford to get a divorce, so that’s not going to happen.”
Oti retired from Strictly Come Dancing after the 2021 series after a seven-year stint on the show. Her sister Motsi is still a judge on the BBC dance competition.

Success: She left Strictly after winning the Glitterball trophy in two consecutive years with Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, 37, and comedian Bill Bailey, 56 (pictured in 2020)
Oti wanted to pursue other TV opportunities after establishing herself as a talent show judge on ITV’s The Masked Dancer and Dancing On Ice.
She left Strictly after winning the Glitterball trophy in two consecutive years with Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher, 37, and comedian Bill Bailey, 56.
Oti recently stressed that she doesn’t regret leaving the BBC dance competition, admitting she’s glad she doesn’t have to become so restrictive on her diet.
“You have to take good care of your body. You have to look a certain way,” she said. ‘You have to be light enough to perform certain movements. I haven’t been able to eat what I wanted for years.
“I was literally obsessed with winning Strictly,” she admitted. “I would eat, sleep, drink and think I would win Strictly. There was nothing else. You’re in a bubble, on a treadmill. It’s not until you get off it that you realize, ‘Oh my God, there’s all these things I can do right now.
‘I can sleep on Sundays. I don’t wake up at 3 a.m. and think about someone’s cha-cha steps.” I ran away from all that stuff and I’m still alive.’
She admitted that walking away from Strictly was a huge gamble, saying, “It hadn’t been done before.”
“You haven’t seen female strict professionals do it,” she explained. “That’s why I admire Janette (Manrara, who stopped dancing on the show to host the companion program It Takes Two).”
