Oti Mabuse: Forgetful in the British jungle camp

Embarrassing moment for Oti Mabuse (34) in the British jungle camp. The professional dancer forgot during “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” for a moment where she got married. This is how this mistake happened: In the British version of “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” The candidates were allowed to win letters from their loved ones. To do this, one star each had to silently articulate a word that a fellow camper associated with a special event in their life. The celebrities in question then have to read this word correctly from their lips.

For Oti Mabuse that word was “Aero Island”. The South African identified the term, but admitted to her roommates that she couldn’t do anything with it.

Only after a while did the scales fall from her eyes. “That’s where we got married,” shouted the sister of “Let’s Dance” juror Motsi Mabuse (43). She married her husband Marius Iepure on the Danish island of Ærø. The audience at X was amused by Mabuse’s slip-up.

To save Otis’ honor, it has to be said that their wedding took place ten years ago. In 2014 she married the Romanian dancer Marius Iepure. The two met in Germany. Oti Mabuse was part of “Let’s Dance” as a professional dancer in 2015 and 2016. She then switched to the British version of the dance show. On the island, she has since become a popular contestant on various shows, from “Dancing on Ice” to “The Masked Dancer.”

Oti Mabuse received the letter from her husband on “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” anyway, by the way. Coleen Rooney (38), the wife of British football legend Wayne Rooney (39), read it. “First of all: our baby is doing well,” said Marius Iepure. “We had the best time seeing how beautiful and lovely you are and how you spread that positive South African energy to this amazing group of people,” he continued.

Since the end of 2023, Oti Mabuse and her husband have been parents to a little girl. They never made the child’s name public. For the dancer, this year was perhaps her last chance to make her dream of the jungle camp come true. She revealed this before the start of the season. Because she plans to expand her family.
