Oti, who made her Dans Op Ys judging debut on Sunday, joined Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes to chat about her new job.
Die stêr, 31, wore a pretty red and black spotty dress for her interview and decided to give her wigs and weaves a miss.
Fans went wild for Oti’s own short hair, with many taking to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Een het geskryf: “Love love love Oti’s natural hair #ThisMorning.”
Another added a heart emoji and chimed in: “Natural hair Oti #ThisMorning.”
A third tweeted: “Oti is so beautiful #ThisMorning.”
I just don’t see personally how you’re going to fit [Streng] in.

During her chat, host Phil was quick to grill Oti about whether she will actually be returning to Kom streng dans this autumn.
In addition to DOI, he Latin American champ is also a judge on The Masked Dancer, is set to present new dating contest Romeo & Duet, has her own tour beginning in April AND is choreographing a new stage show about music icon Cher.
Phil argued that her schedule means she will just be too busy for the BBC1 show.
“I just don’t see personally how you’re going to fit [Streng] in,” hy het gesê.
But laughing, Oti insisted: “I will fit everything in. I have a great agent who plans everything really well!”
Intussen, Oti admitted she enjoys judging TV shows more than competing in them as there is “less pressure”.
But the South African beauty confessed to feeling the nerves kick in during Sunday night’s Dans Op Ys launch show.
Sy het gese: “When it started I was like, ‘I’ve got this, I’m calm’. And then when the music started playing and the show went live I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m so nervous!’
“Holly [Willoughby] was like, ‘Relax, you’re fine. You’re good. Relax’.”
Oti added: “A lot of the time as dancers, you don’t really get to hear us speak and give our opinion and talk about other people and what they can do to get better.
“This time I had to talk and speak. ek was soos, ‘Oh my goodness, I could be harsh, too harsh, be nice….calm down, it’s your first day. Relax, Oti.”
