I’m A Celeb star Oti Mabuse wows in a pink swimsuit as she larks around in the shower with Melvin Odoom

The Dancing On Ice judge, 34, and her campmate Melvin Odoom, 44, were once again the ‘perfect pairing’ as they larked about in the shower.

Oti, who welcomed her first baby last November, put on a sizzling display as she donned her swimwear to wash off the grime from the day’s trial.

The former Strictly star could be seen soaping herself up beside the shower, before shaving her underarms and legs.

However, Oti paused her self care routine after being distracted by Melvin’s showering technique in the famously cold waterfall.

In order to distract himself from the freezing temperatures, Melvin shouted out and wriggled around as Oti fell about laughing.

Talking the Bush Telegraph, Oti reflected: ‘What was that? No way was that the cool cat, cool and calm and collected, Melvin Odoom.

So far this series, Oti and Melvin have kept viewers entertained with their blossoming friendship.

Last week viewers were left ‘crying’ over Oti and Melvin’s ‘iconic’ pairing as they both took on the first Dingo Dollar challenge of the ITV series on Monday.

The Radio 1 DJ and Strictly star teamed up in the hope to win a treat from Kiosk Kev during the hilarious Diner Down Under challenge. 

Melvin and Oti had to make four perfect orders with ingredients which were placed above their heads in the upside down kitchen. 

The pair had to memorise six ingredients for each order, and assemble them while rotting items fell on them. Every item they dropped on the floor, they were not allowed to use.

The duo were covered head to toe in disgusting rotting jungle items until they eventually won the dingo dollars. 

Fans quickly took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to say Melvin and Oti are the ‘perfect’ comedy duo the ITV show needs.

 ‘Crying at melvin and oti barely being able to reach the ingredients lmaoo this was the perfect pairing for this; Melvin & Oti are the perfect pairing. LOVE THEM!

‘Oti and Melvin is so funny; Melvin and Oti doing dingo dollars. I’m crying; Just love oti and Melvin; This series is giving us so many iconic duos, Melvin and Oti were hilarious;

‘Melvin and oti are such a good comedic duo; That was actually hilarious for a dingo dollar challenge, Oti and Melvin were a great team; I love Oti and Melvin’s friendship’.

During Tuesday’s episode fans became emotional as they watched Oti share her premature birth story with Rev Richard Coles.

The professional dancer discussed the birth of her daughter in November 2023 which she previously revealed left her with sepsis and diabetes.

Chatting with Richard, Oti explained how her baby was placed in an incubator after birth, and as she couldn’t hold her she used her voice to connect with her.

She said: ‘They find comfort in your voice. For two months, every single day we’d sing church music.’

Following the emotional moment, viewers took to social media platform X to share their love for Oti and her baby, with one penning: ‘Aww Oti. My love to you and your precious baby girl’;

‘Listening to Oti brings back so many memories and she’s right having to leave your baby in the hospital while you go home is heart breaking’;

‘I am an emotional wreck after listening to Oti open up about what she went through with her premature baby’;

‘Oti talking about the hardest part of having a premature baby is having to leave them every night. That absolutely broke me too’

Richard shared his own story, saying: ‘I remember going once to baptise a little boy, a premature boy, he was born very premature, he was only just alive…’

Stopping what he was saying because he was overcome with emotion at the memory, Richard fought back tears, as Oti got up to give him a hug.

He went on: ‘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: ‘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.’

Trying not to cry, Oti shared what she called the worst thing for her, which was that ‘every night, you need to leave them, you need to leave your baby in someone else’s hands.’

Saying that she can’t wait for Richard to meet her, Oti asked: ‘Maybe you can say a prayer over her, I would really love that.’

Richard admitted: ‘I’ve already said a prayer for her actually.’ With tears in her eyes, she thanked Richard and gave him a big hug.

Richard also opened up about the loss of his former partner, David. He confessed to Oti: ‘I miss him… He’s just left a massive hole in my life and I’m living my life around that loss.’

Oti and her husband Marius Lepure, 41, became parents in November 2023 after their newborn was born prematurely with an infection and spent six weeks in intensive care.

She is pre-diabetic and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks, before also experiencing complications after the birth when she contracted sepsis.

Gestational diabetes is when you have high blood sugar during pregnancy, whereas pre-diabetes is when blood sugar levels above the normal range, but not high enough to be diagnosed.

Speaking previously on Loose Women, she said: ‘When I fell pregnant I got gestational diabetes and we have diabetes in the family but I didn’t really know what happens after you give birth.

‘Does it go away? Do you have to keep working? Years ago I would see pictures of models who would have a baby and within three weeks they’re back and walking the runway.

‘I’m in the bathroom, I’m crying, I probably haven’t washed in like three days. How am I going to snap back?’

‘It’s so difficult and my sister and I talk about this all the time. It’s really about being healthy.’

She revealed: ‘My reason for getting back into fitness was that I found out I was pre-diabetic actually.’

Shocked, Loose Women panellist Charlene White quipped: ‘Really?’ to which Oti responded: ‘Yeah I am still pre-diabetic and it’s about trying to get back to a point where I feel strong, I can handle my food, my sugar levels are right.’

Oti gave birth naturally and said she was ‘singing Chicago the whole time,’ with the problems arising afterwards.

She explained: ‘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.’
