Oti Mabuse, 33, has been inundated with congratulatory messages after announcing the birth of her baby daughter on Christmas Day.
In a heartwarming post alongside her husband Marius, 41, the pair beamed with pride as the Dancing on Ice judge cradled their newborn.
Her husband meanwhile held aloft their adorable pet pooch as the family posed in their matching Christmas pyjamas.
Mabuse announced the arrival of her baby daughter in the accompanying caption which read: “Merry Christmas. Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and special memories with loved ones.”
It didn’t take long for fans and some familiar faces from the world of the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing to share their messages of congratulations.
Former pro James Jordan reacted to the announcement with the comment: “What a perfect Christmas for all of you – sending love from the Jordan’s.”
