Life-threatening condition Oti Mabuse faced during premature birth as I’m A Celeb star makes emotional admission

Oti Mabuse had I’m A Celeb viewers in tears after she emotionally opened up about her child’s premature birth in tonight’s episode of the show.

Mabuse, a Strictly pro, has been a fan favourite so far due to her positive nature and fun attitude.

She has been always willing to be open with the audience however, as she has previously mentioned her brother’s suicide in a frank discussion around grief held by the campmates after Barry McGuigan opened up about his daughter’s death.

Mabuse discussed her child’s premature birth with Reverend Richard Coles explaining how she heartbreakingly had to put her baby in an incubator after birth.

Mabuse previously spoke on Loose Women in 2020 about how the experience of her daughter's premature birth had left her with sepsis and diabetes.

She said: "Once I gave birth to her it became more traumatic, I had sepsis and I didn’t know. I had all these things, I had the diabetes, I had pelvic pain so turning and getting up and walking was very painful.

"Then I found out that I had sepsis. It was one thing over the other. We spent 10 minutes together and she was taken away with my husband and the doctors.

"She was in the incubator and that was the first time we actually saw her. She was covered up and she had all these machines and wires and everything covering her face.

"This premature world only comes to light when you’re going through it... It was a really, really scary time."

Mabuse's emotional chat with Coles brought back a tough memory for the reverend.

He shared with Mabuse, saying: "I remember going once to baptise a little boy, a premature boy, he was born very premature, he was only just alive."

The pair were emotional, with Coles having to fight back tears.

He said: "I just remember he was this tiny little pulse of life, and David [his then partner] got a pipette of water and we blessed it, and we baptised him and he survived and now he’s a healthy young footballer, which is great! But I just felt so… it was such a precious thing."

Oti agreed, saying: "They are, my daughter was really, really tiny when she was born. It’s hell. It’s hell to be in the hospital, to hear those sounds, to not see your baby’s eyes for a week, it’s hell to constantly look for advice from the doctors.”
