has opened up about her decision to leave the hit dancing competition, admitting that she struggled behind-the-scenes, including not wanting to eat and crying in the shower.
Chatting on the All Change podcast, she was full of praise for her husband, Marius Lepure, saying: "Luckily my husband again has been an amazing person who has seen the dark days, the days where I’m in the shower crying with my clothes on because it’s so hard and it’s so overwhelming. He’s seen me not eat, he’s seen me overeat, he’s seen me struggle with not being able to get the best out of someone. He’s seen me having to deal with interesting personalities.
At the time of her exit, Oti said: "I have been part of the most amazing TV show, Strictly Come Dancing for the past seven years and it has been an incredible time. Lifting the Glitterball twice and having the best journey with all my celebrities, but also meeting and working with the best team, crew, producers, celebs and professional dancers! You are my family and I adore you all forever.
Oti has had a very busy time since leaving Strictly, and is now welcoming her first child! She revealed the exciting news via social media, writing: "BREAKING THE NEWS TO FAMILY & FRIENDS. Living in a different country as a couple means you don’t have family around to break the news face to face.
