Motsi Mabuse doesn’t know if she’ll return to Strictly Come Dancing

Motsi Mabuse isn’t sure whether she’ll return to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2020.
The 38-year-old professional dancer served as a judge during the recently-concluded series and she relished the experience of working on the BBC show – but she doesn’t know if she’ll be returning to the popular programme next year.
Motsi – whose sister Oti is a professional dancer on the show – shared: "When Darcey Bussell, left I was in Germany and called my sister to ask what was happening and we were joking that they should call me.
"And then they did! At first, I was like, ‘I am so honoured, this is such amazing news,’ and then I was like, ‘I don’t want to do it, this is too much,’ then I was like, ‘I want to do it.’
"Then, when they called me again and told me I was still in the race, I asked them to send me a text and not call again because I couldn’t handle the pressure. They didn’t send a text, they actually came and said, ‘Welcome to the BBC.’"
Although Motsi loved her time on ‘Strictly’, she’s not yet sure whether she’ll be returning as a judge next year.
Motsi – who previously appeared on ‘Let’s Dance’, the German version of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – revealed she was still waiting to hear from her bosses at the BBC.
She told ‘The Graham Norton Show’: "They haven’t said anything to me. I’m waiting for that call – again!"
