ITV I'm A Celebrity Oti Mabuse's husband asked 'difficult question' as he arrives in Australia

Oti Mabuse's husband Marius Iepure has said how proud he is of his wife’s jungle stint so far on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here as he was asked a 'dfficult question' while arriving in Austalia.

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti has previously said how it was a tough decision to leave their child at home as she returns to our screens. But Marius said he had been coping well with baby duties while their mum was in the jungle.

Asked if he was looking forward to seeing Oti, he said: "Oh my god you can't imagine. And this one (points to baby) can't wait." Of caring for their child, whose name has not been revealed, he said: "It's been so nice, I love it. We didn't get out of the plane as she was too sleepy. She is the best baby ever."

Asked if she could win, he said: "That's a very difficult question." But he said that Oti had been talking for a long time about taking part on the show. He said: "We were discussing this for a few years and she always said she would love to do it."

Marius, who arrived with Oti’s mum Dudu, said he was fine looking after their baby solo. He added: "I teach kids and we have a dance studio and I have the best help here (points to Oti's mum)."

Asked if she has had enough airtime so far on the show, he added: "I think she has enough. I think it's all about the whole group and the challenges. I think it's fine."

The Dancing On Ice judge gave birth at the end of last year. But her and Marius' first baby was born prematurely with an infection and spent six weeks in intensive care after Oti developed sepsis.

But Oti, 34, said: “Now I have had my baby daughter, I want to get back to the adventurous and fun Oti. I feel ready for a change and doing something completely different. I will have no make-up, concealer, lashes – it’s going to be nice to be laid back."
