Ekin-Su’s first dance in week one was shrouded in controversy after her see-through catsuit prompted 112 complaints to Ofcom.
Last night she did a complete U-turn as she channelled Julie Andrews' wholesome character.
Former Strictly legend Oti said: "I want you to remember to stay true to yourself. You're such a beautiful young girl. It's not a bad thing to be sexy."
She added: "Remember that. It's not a bad thing to be sexy. It is the power that we as women have.

"You should be really proud of yourself. When you started on the rock I was like, 'Look at her'. Keep pushing yourself."
Ekin-Su’s first dance of the series led to a huge number of complaints to Ofcom as fans noted her catsuit was “too sexy” to be worn before the watershed.
One viewer wrote: “Totally inappropriate outfit. It's a family show.”
Someone else said: "That's a post-watershed outfit."

While a third added: “I’m no prude but I was panicking we were going to see what she had for breakfast there with that outfit.”
Her fans were quick to rush to Ekin’s defence, with one adding: "What did you want her to wear? A Sunday dress?”
The one-piece was intended to be a copy of that worn by Britney Spears in the music video for Toxic - the song that Ekin-Su danced to.
