Later, Oti opened up about their daughter's early arrival in October. Their little girl came two months premature, which was a "big shock" for them, especially as Oti faced a terrifying battle with sepsis after giving birth, putting their baby at risk too.
Speaking to The Sun, she opened up about the traumatic birth, which led to her and Marius needing therapy after her 16-hour labour, she said: "My sepsis was discovered after the birth — it’s not something that was missed."
"My daughter had an infection when she came out and the doctors gave her treatment. I didn’t have time to panic — we were just focused on her being better."
She also praised the NHS for keeping them safe, adding: "I always felt she was in safe hands. It was about treating her the best way we could. She had to learn to breathe on her own properly, eat on her own, and that came with time."
