Oti Mabuse, the actress who starred in Loose Women and former Strictly Come Dancing star, made the humorous admission about Motsi Mabuse in an interview about Christmas and her time on the BBC show.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse said she wants to “switch out” her sister Motsi Mabuse over the festive period. In a humorous chat with Judi Love, on the Loose Women podcast, the dancer was taken aback by the lengths her co-star goes to for loved ones at Christmas.
Judi revealed that she once prepared roasted breadfruit for a friend’s festive breakfast after purchasing “six bags of fish.”
Oti quipped, “I wish I could switch you out for Motsi,” as he was baffled by the gesture. I believe Motsi and I are both no longer able to function as an older sister.
She joked while glancing down the camera’s lens, “I think we’ve enjoyed this relationship, but I need a sister to do that for me.”
After Judi offered to step in, the former Dancing on Ice judge replied: “You are my sister, but I need one who can come over for Christmas and cook.”
She continued, “She’s just going to come over and we’re going to do TikToks, that’s all we’re going to do,” when asked about her plans with Motsi, a judge on Strictly.
On the same podcast, titled Just Between Us, Oti also reflected on her time on Strictly Come Dancing, ahead of the Christmas special.
The 35-year-old quit the show in 2022 after seven years, having won the Glitterball trophy two years in a row – first with Kelvin Fletcher, then with Bill Bailey.
Oti responded, “Do you know what I miss about being a part of the program?” when asked if she misses it. I always go straight to the behind-the-scenes personnel whenever I return.
She continued, “I miss the props team and just those people who are with us constantly and don’t really get camera time.”
They accompany us on tour, and it’s just that the family is real, drinking gin and tonics together. And of course, everyone else, but I constantly see everyone on camera and in the pros.
Oti praised Dave Arch and Ian Masterson, the show’s composers, saying, “All of those people are amazing, so that’s what I miss.” creating something from scratch and turning it into a popular Saturday show with everyone.
While Oti is no longer part of the BBC show, Motsi remains as one of the four judges alongside Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, and Anton Du Beke. The panel is expected to return next year, but this won’t be the case for presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
The presenter duo made the announcement in October that their 14-year partnership would end the series that recently ended. Numerous names have been suggested as potential replacements since then, but their names have not yet been determined.
