Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse accidentally reveals her daughter’s name for first time as makes scoring gaffe
ONE of the judges on Strictly accidentally called a contestant her daughter’s name while giving her feedback on a dance.
Motsi Mabuse, 42, was giving pro dancer Nikita some pointers on how he handled Layton Williams when she let her child’s name slip for the first time.
While explaining her score, the mum mistakenly called one of the dancers her daughter’s name, before laughing in embarrassment at the gaffe.
“Sorry I just said my daughter’s name, I’m a mum!” she joked.
The BBC show judge recently had some more serious family drama, as her ex-husband sued her after claims she made in her autobiography.
She wrote that Timo Kulczak restricted her access to cash and controlled what she ate.
He has taken her to court for £70,000 and is demanding she retract the claims.
Motsi refused to settle, so will now need to prove her case before the judge in Germany.
Motsi and Timo — who met at a dance tournament — married in 2003.
They divorced in 2014, and she got hitched to her new dance partner Evgenij Vozynuk in 2017.
She had a baby girl with Evgenij and the pair now run a dance school together near Frankfurt.
