The dancer was a fan favourite on StrictlyCredit: PrimaShe quit to pursue presenting opportunities on rival channel ITV, but was dealt a tough blow last week when her weekend show was cancelled.
Speaking to Prima, Oti said: “When I look back on Strictly, I think the whole seven-year journey was amazing. I still work on the show. I still do choreography, I’m still talking to the producers.
“I say that the show brought me everything, like me sitting here today, and the relationship still very much continues.
“There were ups, there were downs; if you can imagine being the first Black anything, anywhere, there will always be ups and downs.
“Everyone asks me [if I’d return to Strictly]. I think right now, with a daughter and everything I’m doing, I’m quite busy, and I’m happy with what I’m doing at the minute. But never say never.
“The doors are always open, which is really, really nice. Aljaž [Škorjanec] went back and he’s doing really well.
“I went back to choreograph with him and he’s just in a different space.
“He’s absolutely sensational. So, you never know.”
ITV bosses called time on Oti’s Saturday morning programme.
It was also revealed the Dancing on Ice reboot, which Oti was a judge on, is on a break.
Oti has been appearing on ITV2’s Celebrity Big Brother spin-off Late and Live since news of the show axe broke.
