There goes the judge! Motsi double-books Strictly nights

IT MAY be months before the first twirl, but this year’s Strictly Come Dancing already has a looming crisis on its hands.

Motsi Mabuse, 39, is double-booked after signing up for the live tour of Let’s Dance – the German version of Strictly.

The Frankfurt-based judge features on its poster and website, which both list dates in November – including every Saturday, which would clash with the Strictly live shows. A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Producers have been pulling their hair out as they struggle to get all of their judges in the right place for the live shows. Pre-Covid it was easy to jet in and out of the UK for the night, but with travel restrictions it’s much harder.’

Miss Mabuse, pictured, joined Strictly in 2019. A BBC spokesman said: ‘Motsi will be doing the next series, we’ll be working out the schedule as we’ve done in the past.’
