Poking fun at the image, Oti told her TikTok and Instagram followers: "So apparently, this is me and Marius.
"I don't know how you guys got this photo, but this lady has time to moisturise her skin! She has time to get that wig done, laced. She's got time for earrings!"
Pointing to herself, Oti laughed: "This lady doesn't!"
The Dancing on Ice judge went on to compare her husband to the man in the photo, saying: "Look at this guy. Baby? This guy has slept," before pointing at the real Marius and adding: "This one is up at 4am!"
"And whose baby's that?" Oti asked as Marius remarked: "That baby's three years older."
"The internet is internetting! Who are these people!" she added, laughing.
A number of Strictly stars were quick to share their responses to the video, with It Takes Two host Fleur East writing: "This is hilarious!!!" alongside laughing emojis.

Dragon's Den star Sara Davies added: "This has cracked me up!" while former Strictly professional Ian Waite said: "HILARIOUS."
When one person asked if Oti had given birth to "a baby that's ready for school", she replied joking: "Ready for university."
Oti recently gave fans a candid insight into her first few weeks as a parent. Sharing a series of photos capturing her adjustment to motherhood on Instagram, the star explained the rollercoaster of emotions she's experienced.
"How do we feel???? Let me see... like having a hangover without the alcohol – little moments where @mariusiepure and I look at each other laugh and ask 'how confused do you feel'," she wrote.
"Celebrating dirty diapers and cursing at Instagram moms who make this look easy. Pumping non stop and still finding time to shower (I got 10 min today – felt like winning the lottery."
