Strictly made me breakdown in the shower fully clothed – my husband saved me from my lowest point, confesses Oti Mabuse
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse has revealed how she became so consumed by working on the celebrity dance contest that she "wasn't really in" her own marriage, and ended up breaking down in the shower fully clothed., Oti describes physically and emotionally detaching from her husband, Romanian dancer Marius Lepure, when she joined the hit BBC1 show, a year after they married in 2014.She says: “Strictly is not a TV show. It's a lifestyle choice.
Prior to that, Oti says she had been at her “lowest” ebb while partnering “a celeb who I just couldn’t get to love the job as much as I wanted” and who she says she "couldn't teach" “ came in, he got in the shower, fully clothed, he picked me up, and he just hugged me and held me. He said, 'It's just a job. You have family, you have friends, you have me and you have food’.
“We needed to rebuild our priorities - or my priorities,” says Oti. “ they asked us what our priorities were, and how you list them and how your partner lists them. My priorities work, career and then love and his were love, work and career, and we had to switch that out. We needed to completely reorder that.
Speaking about her 16-hour birth at London’s University College Hospital before their daughter spent six weeks in the intensive-care neonatal unit, Oti explains: “It was overand it felt like the whole nation was so happy. I was like, 'This is the worst point of my life, ever.”To Brunson’s question of what she would have done differently if she could rewind time and relive her career, she replies: “I would have had my daughter earlier. I'm not old.
