Oti Mabuse has melted fans’ hearts after revealing an emotional moment she got to share with her young daughter in the dancing world.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star took to social media with a string of snaps in which she could be seen hanging out in Blackpool with her one-year-old daughter.

Oti and her husband Marius Iepure were in the seaside town for a dancing competition taking place at the Winter Gardens, during which Marius was one of the judges.

In between the dancing action, Oti got to take her little girl to the beach and to the arcades and spoke fondly about what it meant to her to be back in Blackpool, this time with her daughter in tow.

Captioning the post, the Dancing on Ice judge wrote: “We were back in beautiful Blackpool—where it all began for me competing internationally.

“From dancing in competitions as a little girl, dreaming big, to the unforgettable Strictly years creating magic with my amazing partners on that iconic floor… this town holds my heart.

“Now back—not just as a dancer, but as a mum. Seeing it all through my daughter’s eyes, from the bright lights of Coral Island to sharing fish and chips as a family… it’s a whole new kind of special. And watching my husband work the scenes with such dedication and pride? That’s the kind of full-circle moment I’ll never forget.”

Oti added: “Blackpool, I’m there again… this time stepping onto the stage with my second tour. I can’t wait to dance for you, laugh with you, and feel that theatre come alive with joy and rhythm. It’s more than a show—it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come.

“Let’s make more memories together… see you soon! Love, Oti #VivaCarnival #FamilyFirst #BlackpoolMagic #DanceLife.”
