"No internet, put phone away, enjoying home with family, nursery school, sun and food," Oti typed alongside the video before adding: "Hit the rest button and connect to what's important."

Sharing a video to her Instagram Story, the mum-of-one was seen moving around to the sound of the breast pump she was using. Keeping it real, she told her fans and followers: "Landed a 5am. Starting my work week already with a 10am meeting and a pump with my @mambaby_uk pump BECAUSE THIS IS LIFE NOW."
She then shared in a hashtag: "Happy International Dance Day," before adding: "Going slightly delulu." It comes after Oti shared praised for the support she and her family reciebved while travelling between the UK and South Africa.
The Dancing on Ice judge was seen cradling her daughter on the plane home as she said: "Sometimes it's so easy to complain about your country and what's wrong with it but I have flown to 3 countries already as a new mum and I have to say the level of HELP I received from people who I don't know in South Africa really warmed my heart.
"I am so proud to be South African because of the PEOPLE!!!" She continued: "The same with the UK. The way people help you with open hearts when you're struggling or not is such beautiful trait. Women came to your rescue, men help pick up heavy bags. I have to say I breathe a sigh of relief when I land in South Africa and the UK because I deep down know someone will help!" She later added: "It's no ones responsibility to help anyone - it's just nice innit?"
