In a touching family revelation, Motsi Mabuse has opened up about her dramatic transformation and revealed her hopes for her young daughter. Motsi, who’s been a judge on Strictly Come Dancing since 2019, discussed her family life in Germany with husband Evgenij Vozynuk and their five-year-old daughter (whose name remains private).
She reportedly travels to the UK weekly for Strictly before returning home after the results show, but she admitted she “couldn’t do” the job without her husband’s approval as she revealed their touching hopes for their young daughter.
Motsi (who recently opened up about her feelings towards her Strictly colleague) told Yours: “The most important thing in my life is my family. I couldn’t do the Strictly role without my husband, and our focus is always to raise our daughter as a healthy, happy, young black girl. Life is about being with the people you love.”
Motsi continued, “It is crucial to demonstrate your work. Telling my daughter to be independent and able to stand on her own two feet is a good idea.
She also spoke about her attention-grabbing weight loss, which she explained involved exercise and what was termed a complete “overhaul” of her eating habits to help her drop the pounds.
The South African dancer said, “It was about living a healthier lifestyle throughout my entire life. Being a better person is what it is all about because we live in such a crazy world.
Her fitness regime now includes weights and “building muscle”, with the Strictly judge revealing to The Sun’s Fabulous magazine that she’s consuming three particular foods and regularly visiting the sauna.
She stated, “I’m consuming salad, fruit, and nuts.” I visit the sauna three times per week to help lower my cortisol levels. I also believe that taking ice baths benefits my mental well-being.
Motsi, the sibling of former Strictly professional Oti Mabuse, disclosed that regarding the menopause, she’s encountered considerable “fear mongering”, mentioning that her friend, and Strictly head judge, Shirley Ballas, had cautioned her that the journey would be “a ride”.
The celebrity’s striking transformation has also caught the eye of Strictly Come Dancing fans when she returned to the judging panel alongside fellow show legends Shirley, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke last month.
Watchers who were cheered up even took to social media to express their admiration for the judge.
One person questioned, “Doesn’t Motsi look amazing? ” Fantastic weight loss I’ll take some of what she’s spending.
Another person remarked, “Holy s*** Motsi looks absolutely incredible not that she always did but seriously WOW #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly.”

Katie Price has added another string to her bow and her followers can’t get enough of it. The 47-year-old former glamour model stepped away from her position in front of the camera and headed for another kind of studio.
And it appears as though her migration to the music world has been a big success. Her latest offering, titled Best Of Me, successfully made it into the official charts.
The song peaked at 17th in the official singles download list, with Toronto-based singer Shaye World gushing over the achievement. He posted the impressive stats on his Instagram page, tagging Katie in the upload.

In the comments section, Hunterz Music wrote, “Congratulations brother, the hard work has paid off bless up,” among other congratulatory messages. Several more followers merely shared flame emojis.
The song’s 21st place was also reached by the song’s sales, while Lady Ice’s song also occupied 13th place in the British Asian Music chart. The success comes after her unexpectedly successful debut with I Got U.
In September, fans left the mum-of-five gobsmacked after her 2017 song shot to the top of the charts following a huge social media campaign. It came after the former Page 3 model had spoken openly about her wishes to be a pop star.
Eight years after its release, the hit topped the charts against the likes of Chappell Roan, Lewis Capaldi, and Benson Boone last month. Surprisingly, people increased their numbers by using streaming and downloading sources.
Additionally, it was widely shared on Instagram and TikTok apps, which significantly increased its popularity. Everyone should go buy it, I promise! Use the song in your TikTok posts to show love to other users who have also shown love! Let’s do this, urged one fan at the time.
Away from her music success, Katie recently revealed she was undergoing some more cosmetic work. While joking she wasn’t having a facelift, the former model was in the chair waiting for another dose of Botox.
Katie’s face was marked with the location of her injections when she spoke from the chair in the salon. She continued, “So here I am, no, not Botox, no facelift.” Look, I’m frowning, you see?

Then, she pressed her forehead to continue saying, “F***ing hell, how many needles are you putting in there, my girl?” Katie then admitted that she had performed the procedure without using numbing cream.
Katie continued, “Oh, I look so ugly,” before adding, “But I will look good in a few days.”

Gorka Marquez and Gemma Atkinson first met on Strictly in 2017. Eight years later, the couple, who are engaged, have two children, and have a new podcast, reveal the “beautiful chaos” of it all…

After just a short time in their company, it’s clear they’re very different as people, but work perfectly together. Radio DJ Gemma Atkinson, 40, and pro dancer Gorka Márquez, 35, are an entertaining double act, with Gemma’s straight-talking, northern humour and Gorka’s quiet, laidback Spanish charm. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, are based in Manchester, but Gorka often travels for work — this year he’s regularly in Spain, as a judge on the Spanish version of Strictly .
The pair met when Gemma took part in Strictly in 2017. Their relationship was a slow burn, but they fell for each other and are now parents to two children, Mia, six, who was recently diagnosed with epilepsy, and two-year-old Thiago. Elements of navigating their daily lives often get lost in translation (hence the name of their new podcast, Lost In Translation), which makes for some hilarious moments. Here, they open up exclusively to OK! about working together, their little ones following in their footsteps and the habits that annoy each other…

Hello, Gemma and Gorka! This year, are you glued to Strictly?
Gemma: Every Saturday. It’s the proper countdown to Christmas, for us. It’s also a good excuse not have to go out on a Saturday night!
You two were bound to be together, wasn’t it?
Gorka: Oh no, but she actually made me work for it!
Gemma: Nothing good comes naturally, as my mother would put it. It’s always nice to remember how everything began. Since joining Strictly in 2014, I’ve watched the live performances twice, and Elstree always has that warm feeling in my heart.
Gorka: Me and you are the beginning.
Gemma: It’s lovely. Seeing Aljaž [Škorjanec] and Janette [Manrara] with little Lyra-Rose, Neil Jones has Havana, and Dianne [Buswell] is going to have a little one…
Gorka: It’s crazy that Neil and Alja were about to marry when I first started Strictly. Everyone is grown up, including Diane, who I also worked on cruise ships. After a performance, we used to go out, but now we have to return home so we can have breakfast with our kids the following day.
Gemma, you almost didn’t do it; it could be that your life is completely different now.
Gemma: Yes! I initially said no. It was my first job that allowed me to commute in less than 40 minutes while I was working on radio. I was able to continue living my life. My agent called me about two weeks later and said, “Hun, this Strictly thing, can you just think about it?” I knew it had to be rejected. She suggested spending a week there and thinking about it when I went to Jason Vale’s juice retreat. I did it, too.
What caused you to change?
When I got to my room at the retreat, Oprah’s autobiography was on the side table. I picked it up and it fell open to a page with just one big quote, “If you have a chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you choose to dance.” I thought, maybe I’m meant to do this. So I messaged my agent and said yes, I’ll do it. Just don’t ask me again or I’ll change my mind!
Wow, what a moment of real sliding doors…
Gemma: We weren’t aware that Gorks and I were there at the same time a year earlier. The Bahamas was where we were. There is a bar called Seor Frog’s that overlooks the ocean where I went on vacation. A cruise ship is close to shore, and there is a video of me and my friend dancing there.
Gorka: How incredible is it that I worked on that ship?
What details do you have for our new podcast?
Gemma: From our reality TV show, we had lovely feedback about how normal, mundane tasks and chaotic school runs could turn into something fun and relatable. So Lost In Translation is like an audio version of that. Each week, we each message our producer individually about what’s annoyed us about each other and then have a debate about it.
You also help each week solve a listener’s conundrum…
Gemma: Yes, we do. A listener by the name of Sophie was the first. She had just moved in with her boyfriend and was experiencing stomach pain because she was afraid to go poo in the apartment! We play silly games, and we look at the differences between Spanish and English.
What degree of chaos does that mix of cultures engender?
Gorka: It always occurs. Gemma would laugh and make me realize that I’m wet p****d through when I used to say, “I’m p***d wet through.”
Gemma: There are no small things. Growing up, I would have chippy tea with gravy or cheese pie every Friday. On chips, vinegar. This absolutely repulses Gorka.
How is a cheese-filled puff pastry pie eaten? !
Gemma: Thiago also adores them. He prefers them over anything else.
Gorka: Gemma doesn’t consume red meat, but I do bring home a sizable Spanish leg of ham at Christmas. Although it’s amazing, Gemma says, “Get that thing out of the house!”
Are the kids studying Spanish?
Gemma and Mia read Spanish together. His father speaks Spanish, and I’m there trying my hardest, “Hola!” as his parents don’t speak English, so when we FaceTime, his father says “Hola!” For children, it’s different. Gorka’s mother last visited Spain, so we could spend a day in Madrid. They were dancing and laughing when we returned four hours later.
Gorka: It’s irrelevant because they were having a wonderful time.
What about each other irritates you?
Gorka: I’m a perfectionist, Gemma’s messy, and I’m a perfectionist.
Gemma: My entire life has been spent folding socks incorrectly. I simply fold them, done. Gorka enjoys them tucked in completely, the bottom to the top, next to each other.
Do Mia and Thiago exhibit any dancing-related traits?
Gemma: They have musicality. Mia has a dancing craze. Thiago already sings in tune, and he has a good ear. He adores The Greatest Showman and plays the drum precisely when it’s needed.

Gorka and I were dancing in the kitchen this morning while we were playing music. I adore those moments.

We watch Tess Daly’s shock departure from the BBC show and her life off-screen, which has one of the longest marriages in showbusiness.

Behind the glitz and glamour that comes with being a well-known TV presenter, you may be forgiven for thinking Tess Daly and Vernon Kay enjoy a lavish lifestyle.
But while they have a nice lifestyle thanks to their hard work – Tess says she loves nothing more than spending time with the family at their sprawling six-bedroom Buckinghamshire property which they share with their two daughters and pet dogs.
Their two Shetland ponies, Honey and Will, live in a large garden with a huge conservatory kitchen, a marble bathroom, a swimming pool, a gym, and a large garden.
Tees and
Surprisingly, Claudia Winkleman made the announcement
they were both leaving Strictly Come Dancing this week, and in a past interview Tess said she loved being at home.

She greeted me! “It’s nice to have some free time to do routine tasks like helping kids with their homework, baking after school, and running with the kids. It’s my top priority as a mother, and I aspire to do that. Vernon is also a brilliant father. We never miss a concert because he cheers on during netball games. You don’t get these precious moments back, I’m well aware of that. “
And the couple makes every effort to maintain their daughters’ vigor. We let them be independent when it comes to them and their futures because it’s crucial that you let them find themselves, which fosters character development and personality development, in 2022, Vernon told MailOnline. “
Tess claimed to have done everything possible to keep her daughters safe in the 2021 world. They are so firmly grounded that they are aware of everything’s worth. For us, it is everything. They respect other people and uphold moral standards. Everything is there. You help them develop their sense of self-worth. We rely so much on them to maintain their vigor. It’s never about us at home; it’s about them, their lives, and our family. Up until she was seven, Phoebe wasn’t aware that I was a TV producer! “
She only knew when she once saw me and said, “There’s my mum!” She simply believed that going to work on Saturday was work, according to Tess. They loved their father on I’m a celeb, and they loved Strictly, but it is a part of what we do and doesn’t define who we are to them. They both adored it.
“We’re just mom and dad,” they say. I think it’s crucial for me not to overshadow my children’s work ethic and their ability to find their own place in life by overshadowing them with your own. They must first discover their own way. Ego has no place in our house, and it is not about us. We’re very proud of these good, diligent women. They are a developmentally stadiu! “
Tees and Vernon have been married for more than 20 years and say they try to “keep the fire burning” in order to ensure their marriage is a happy and successful one. The couple first set eyes on each other at a BBC Christmas party in 2001. They had both moved from modelling careers into TV presenting, and Tess once admitted that the initial spark was intense and immediate.
In 2002, Vernon proposed to Tess at her parents’ home in Stockport. Then in 2003 the pair tied the knot in Vernon’s home town of Horwich, Bolton. The pair welcomed their first daughter Phoebe into the world in 2004 and in 2009, Tess gave birth to Amber.
However, their relationship has had its difficulties, and the couple was forced to deal with a scandal that threatened to split their union in 2010. Rhian Sugden, a glamour model, and Vernon were uncovered as having two young daughters at home. Tess’ shock discovery, which he had to defend against her husband, was understandably devastating.

He acknowledged that “Tess is extremely upset about this and we’re working through it” in a sincere interview with The Sun at the time. Despite being foolish and foolish, I’m not a sex pest. I’ve only known four or five of the girls, all of whom have been close friends or coworkers, so I’ve only used them once or five. Although I’m married, I’m aware that something like that can go against the rules for single men. “
One expert claims that the partnership between Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly will be difficult to replicate after they announced their departure from Strictly Come Dancing earlier this week.

The BBC will struggle to find a host who will “incredibly valuable” and who will host Strictly Come Dancing.
Tess and Claudia announced their departure from the show on Thursday (23 October) in a joint video, where they said: “After 21 wonderfully joyful years on Strictly, we have decided that the time is right to step aside.”
They added that they are bound by a collective bargain. Tess referred to Strictly as her “third child” and “second family” in a separate statement, promising to continue watching but felt the need to “hand over the reins.”
Talent agent and PR expert told the Mirror that their exit marks the end of an era for Saturday night television.

“Between them, they’ve fronted some of the BBC’s most successful formats and they’ve done it with warmth, chemistry and credibility – three things that are very hard to replicate,” he says.
“It’s simple to forget how pioneering their partnership was.” It was genuinely refreshing to have two women host one of Britain’s biggest primetime entertainment programs. They endured years of sexist criticism for their looks, sleeve types, and ages, but never let that define them.
They weren’t drawn into competing with one another, they weren’t. We haven’t seen anything like it since, and they redefined what female-led television in the UK could look like.
Claudia has already demonstrated she is much more than just a presenter, Dermot asserts. “Her fringe alone is a brand in its own right.
“The Traitors turned her into a global star and fashion icon, so she’s now in that rare position where she can choose between high-end television projects, fashion partnerships and even production or writing. She has the kind of cultural capital that travels well internationally.”
Tess, on the other hand, has always been “elegant, polished, and reliable,” Dermot claims.
“Her next chapter could be about lifestyle, wellness, or fashion,” she said. She is already the brand’s face when it comes to vitamin supplements. Every brand wants to capitalize on her aspirational mid-life glamour because she has long been associated with it.
“I could see her following her husband Vernon into radio, or another TV role within the BBC. I’m sure ITV will be straight on the phone to her team, looking to explore options.”
Both women have qualities that many presenters lack, according to the PR expert.
Despite Strictly’s numerous pressures and scandals, “they’ve steered the ship well,” according to Dermot, and they continue to remain calm despite those who may be in trouble.
They are therefore extremely valuable to both streaming and paid advertisers. They can now create businesses that transcend the dancefloor, whether it’s through podcasts, documentaries, or co-producing formats.
They are stepping back at the same time, they say. They are in charge of the narrative. They are leaving on a high, and in this industry, that is the ultimate power move, rather than waiting for a replacement.

Vicky Pattison, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, revealed how a wardrobe malfunction during rehearsals brought her “honeymoon period” with professional partner Kai Widdrington’s debut season to a quick conclusion.
The former Geordie Shore personality has been showcasing her dancing abilities since September, partnering with Kai Widdrington in pursuit of the prestigious Glitterball trophy.
The 37-year-old humorously described how the “honeymoon period” with Kai abruptly came to an end despite making it through the first round of the competition.
Speaking candidly about the awkward moment on her Get A Grip podcast with Angela Scanlon, the television personality recalled one of her initial dress rehearsals with Kai, when she experienced an unexpected “stress period”.
Vicky said, “I had a stress period the first day. during my rehearsal wearing clothes.
Vicky described Kai’s emergence as a “spinner” who was like “kicking heat packs down my leggings” in an effort to solve the problem. The honeymoon period was over.
The reality star has remained a star on the judging panel despite her and Kai’s challenges throughout the competition so far, earning a respectable 23 points for their Cha Cha Cha performance. The pair’s scores have increased week on week as the weeks have passed.
They received a score of 24 in week two, a 25 the following week, and last week, they received a massive 29 in the Samba dance competition.
Vicky has become the latest in a long line of reality TV stars to try their luck in the BBC dancing competition, with previous contestants from the industry having seen mixed success down the years.
One of the latest reality TV stars to compete in the show, Tasha Ghouri, made history, as she became only the second member of the deaf community to take part, following in the footsteps of actress Rose Alying-Ellis.
Strictly fans were left stunned earlier this week after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman brought an end to their time on the show, captioning a joint post on Instagram, saying: “We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream. We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time.
We just want to say a huge thank you to the BBC and to everyone who volunteers for the show, saying “we will have the greatest rest of this amazing series.”

They continued, “We’ll miss them every day because they’re the most brilliant team.” When we say the final “keep dancing,” we will cry, but we’ll keep saying it to one another. Just possibly while eating some pizza while wearing tracksuit bottoms at home.
