The cryptic message soon sparked speculation about a possible pregnancy, with a fan asking on Instagram: “U having a baby?”
“You are pregnant,” guessed another.
But Oti, 29, soon set the record straight when she replied “No lmao” to one person who had quizzed her about her secret, adding a crying with laughter emoji.
It later turned out that Marius’s post was actually about the couple holding a series of dance events around the UK, starting in July.

A message on his Instagram said: “We love to dance, to perform, to teach dancing and we want to share our love for dance and entertainment with you.”
The post teased that some of the public’s “favourite TV professional dancers” would be taking part but did not elaborate about who those dancers might be.
Oti has been in the headlines a lot in recent weeks, as a result of her friendship with former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher.
