The dancer turned TV star let off her natural beauty with a light touch of makeup and styled her hair into a chic updo.
Oti recently said she was accepted for her “curvy” body type on Strictly Come Dancing, but since she left the show in 2022, she’s noticed a change.
told Oti The times: ‘I will never be a size zero. I think I was recognizable to a lot of women, because all girls [on Strictly] are really small.
“It wasn’t until I stopped dancing and you could see me sitting there and you thought, ‘Oh, she’s got boobs. Oh, she’s got curves.'”
She added that the pressure to have a slim body type stems from the over-saturation of smaller types in the TV industry, saying it “doesn’t come from people saying anything, it comes from what you see”.
She said, “If that’s what brands are pushing, if that’s the people who get the big shows, if that’s what they look like, then you think it’s the standard. It plays in your subconscious.’
She talked about how her body has changed since Strictly speaking, just saying she’s a woman in her 30s now, compared to a woman in her 20s on the show.
She went on to say that she doesn’t let the pressures of how she should look influenced her, stating that she “doesn’t try to look a certain way.”
