BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse supported as she admits 'anxiety' in 'moment of honesty'

Oti Mabuse admitted to feeling anxious at the end of another year as she spoke about social media being awash with people showing their highlights of 2024.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star had her own busy year having returned to the Dancing on Ice judging panel in January following the premature birth of her first child the previous October.

She later announced she'd be hitting the road in a new tour in 2025 before later celebrating her daughter's first birthday and heading to the jungle to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here's 2024 series, where she left camp in fourth place having just missed out on making it to the final.

But on Tuesday (December 31), Oti took to Instagram with a video in which she spoke directly to her followers and said that she too had opened social media to see a stream of posts in which people showed the best bits of their year.

"Hello, I thought I'd just come on here and share. I woke up this morning and felt a bit anxious because it's a new year and I turned on my social media and everyone was like, 'Yeah, 2024 was amazing!' My 2024 was amazing but this morning I didn't feel like it and I just thought in the space of sharing, for anyone who maybe lost a family member, didn't particularly reach their goals, the year was horrible, long, for you guys, it going to be ok!

"Social media doesn't always reflect the true feeling and the true state of everyone and even in the moments when you are down and you are out, tomorrow's another day and tomorrow's another day to conquer, tomorrow's another day to heal and tomorrow is another day to manifest and start from scratch..."

Oti also penned alongside the post: "Happy new year to everyone. Just a little moment of honesty and openness
