She has graced the cover of the Dec/Jan issue of Women’s Health UK.
And Oti Mabuse revealed the lengths she went to to perfect her look for the striking shoot as she shared throwback snaps from July when she joined her hunky husband Marius Lepure at a fitness vacation to get ready.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 30, and the Romanian dancer, 38, looked incredible during their stint on holiday before Oti stunned in a series of neon ensembles to showcase her incredible figure for the health and fitness publication.

Oti appeared in a stunning spread for the issue where she detailed her working day, spoke about unfair stereotypes for black women and the show’s equality.
Alongside the interview, Oti dazzled in a series of stunning sporty ensembles which helped make the most of her lean and lithe physique.
Oti looked sensational in the bold shoot, with one striking image showing her in an orange sports bra with yellow shorts and platform Converse.
She wore her hair in a tight slick ponytail while her make-up was perfectly applied to ensure she was camera ready for the shoot.

Oh my! They were both flaunting their ripped abs in the snaps
Preparation was clear and clearly gruelling, as she posted the snaps, including bikini-clad dips in the sea and abs-flashing selfies taken in the gym.
She revealed they ate ‘super clean’ and exercised twice a day and discovered a love of tennis while getting her in shape for the shoot.
In the chat, when Oti was asked about Netflix’s new period drama Hollywood, she went into details about the racial significance of the show.
She said: ‘You see someone [lead actress, Laura Harrier] who looks like you with big full lips, and she’s not shown as ‘the angry Black woman’…
‘She’s the one who works hard, she’s ambitious, she gets what she wants and that’s just amazing to see. We’re not always angry – we’re vulnerable and have emotions.’

Oti, who is paired with funnyman Bill Bailey on the new series, said of Strictly: ‘When I look at the shows I’ve worked for, they’ve been so diverse…
‘On Strictly, we have 17 professional dancers who all look completely different; they represent something unique, with [dancers] from Australia, New York, South Africa, and China. I’m proud that we have that representation.’
Proving just how gruelling her life can be, Oti detailed the strenuous extent of her working day – including an alarmingly early starting time.
She said: ‘I was up at three in the morning today and just started working. I get like that when I’m in work mode: when I’m really going for it…
‘Sometimes. I’ll start working at two in the morning and then I’ll go back to bed [for a bit] and start working again at 8am.’
