She shared her first photo with her newborn and husband Marius Lepure.
The couple smiled at the child and wore matching pajamas.
The Dancing On Ice judge, 33, cradled her baby and Marius held their dog, with the new parents telling fans: “Merry Christmas wishing you all wonderful holidays and special memories with your loved ones.”
Former strictly professional dancer James Jordan was one of the first to respond, writing: “What a perfect Christmas to you all – sending love from the Jordans.”
Comedian Katherine Ryan said: “Hello, welcome baby.”
As the winner of Dance on Ice, winner Hayley Tamaddon said: “Awwww Oti, congratulations wonderful! I wish you a wonderful Christmas xxx”.
Their happy news was also shared by Oti’s sister Motsi, who accidentally revealed the baby’s gender by posting the little one on Instagram.
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional announced that she is expecting her first child with her husband Marius Lepure at the end of August.
Oti and her husband Marius made a surprise announcement that they are expecting live on her ITV show Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show this summer.
Oti has been keeping her followers updated with snaps of her blossoming baby bump, but now she’s opened up about the downsides of her pregnancy journey.
Oti explained on Instagram how the symptoms affected her exercise routine.
“I was completely out of shape and I felt it immediately when I came back,” she wrote.
“My core strength wasn’t 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 when I was sleeping it would get worse (I don’t wear a belt yet, but as the weeks go by, I definitely will).”
She added: “My activity level depends on how severe my SPD is that day. It can be very frustrating if you used to exercise regularly and have to stop. Walking, sitting, driving – everything becomes a bit painful.”
“I know I’m not the only one dealing with SPD – how do you cope or deal with it?”
Oti, who was born in Pretoria, South Africa, joined Strictly in 2015.
She first won the show with soap star Kelvin Fletcher and they were crowned Strictly Come Dancing 2019 champions – although she was originally partnered with Jamie Laing.
She then became the first professional to defend her Strictly crown, helping comedian Bill Bailey to a shock win in 2020.
