Oti Mabuse has given birth to her first child with husband Marius Lepure.
The Dancing on Ice judge and former Strictly pro took to Instagram to announce the arrival on Christmas Day with a sweet photo.
Oti and her Marius, in matching festive onesies, lovingly cradled the baby, as well as the family's four-legged friend, as they beamed from ear to ear.
The couple did not reveal when the little one arrived or what their gender was, but captioned the post: “Merry Christmas Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and special memories with loved ones.”
Oti and Marius announced they were expecting on August 26, revealing their surprising baby news live on the expectant mother's ITV breakfast show.
The Romanian dancer taught the breakfast show guests – Marisha Wallace and Chizzy Akudolu – a dance routine shortly before he and his wife told them the baby news.
Towards the closing moments of the episode, Oti hinted that the loved-up couple “had some good news” as she hugged her husband.
She revealed, “Speaking of things you didn't know at home, we have something for all of you, we have some good news. We're having a child!'
The couple then shared a warm embrace as the crew cheered, with Marisha and Chizzy appearing completely shocked by the revelation.
Shortly after, her announcement on air, Oti took to Instagram to share a carousel of sweet photos of herself cradling her baby bump as she and her partner posed.
The mom looked stunning in a tight, blush pink off-the-shoulder jumpsuit as she carefully cradled her growing baby bump, teamed with a huge smile from ear to ear.
Oti was smitten with her partner and shared the adorable snaps, honestly admitting she was 'scared' – even though it was 'the best news'.
The former Strictly Come Dancing pro also suggested they may have a guest for Christmas as she teased that 'Christmas is about to get even louder'.

It has been a wonderful journey so far with good friends and family and almost over, but we have learned a lot along the way…. Christmas is about to get even louder.”

Talking to her Instagram followers, Oti shared that she and Marius had taken a break from trying to conceive as their hopes for a child dwindled.
She said: 'We had been trying for a while and decided to stop (it all just became too much) and just live like the two of us because nothing was happening.'
She added, “We enjoyed each other's company, dinners, concerts, parties and just took all the pressure off and here we are!”
The professional dancer eagerly shared her pregnancy journey with her 682,000 followers on Instagram.
With the ups came the downs, as Oti also expressed the struggles that come with being pregnant with sensory processing disorder (SPD), adding that her activity level depends on how severe her condition was on any given day.
Oti shared a video of herself doing a light workout and wrote: 'I completely fell off the wagon with my fitness and I felt it straight away when I went back.
'My core strength was not what it used to be, my balance was off and my ability to hold certain positions was gone.
'The pain started very slowly, but at night while sleeping it became more intense (I don't wear a belt yet, but as the weeks go by I definitely will)
Wow! The former Strictly Come Dancing pro, 33, showed off her 'day and night' looks, rocking a blue velvet midi dress in a stunning mirror print
She added, “Aside from the physical therapy exercises, I still try to stay active in a way that isn't painful.
“My activity level depends on how severe my SPD is that day. It can be very frustrating if you exercise regularly and have to stop.
'Walking, sitting, driving all become a bit painful. But we persevere and give ourselves some GRACE!'
