Oti Mabuse jokes she had to Google to make sure she wasn't pregnant by Jimmy Carr

Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse has admitted that she recently Googled herself to make sure she wasn't expecting a baby.

The 30-year-old dancer appeared on Steph's Packed Lunch on Wednesday where she discussed the week's news stories.

The conversation soon turned to the time comedian Jimmy Carr joked that Oti was pregnant after she danced with him on TV show Your Face Or Mine.

"So, this article comes out in South Africa like two weeks ago, and my mum calls me and she was like, ‘you are pregnant!'" Oti told Steph McGovern.

She then admitted: "Stupidly I went to Google and I was like, 'Google, am I having a baby?'" as the camera panned to Russell Kane, who looked gobsmacked.

Oti continued: "I was like, 'What am I doing? No I'm not! I'm like, 'Mum, no I'm not!'"

Oti appeared on Your Face Or Mine back in 2019 with her husband Marius Lepure.

During their appearance, Jimmy jokingly said to Marius: "Would you go on Strictly? Would you like to be one of the professional dancers on Strictly, or do you think it would be awkward being in the same room as the man who’s having an affair with your wife?"

"That’s a good question actually," began Marius, before Oti revealed something rather interesting about how each series of Strictly Come Dancing begins for them.

"My husband issues each and every single partner I have a warning," Oti said, which got a gasp out of Jimmy's co-host Katherine Ryan, and Oti then added: “So, they kind of stay away.”

Marius the said: “No, don’t worry. Don’t worry. They understand very fast,” which got another gasp out of Katherine and the audience.

“I’m just saying. I’m just saying, they understand,” Marius added.

Jimmy then proceeded to dance with Oti, while Marius enjoyed a dance with Canadian comedian Katherine.

At the end of the skit, Jimmy remarked: "I think there's a real chance that Oti might be pregnant! I definitely felt something there."

Luckily, Oti and Marius saw the funny side of it and were seen laughing at Jimmy's joke.

Steph's Packed Lunch airs weekdays at 12:30pm on Channel 4.
