Motsi Mabuse on this year’s Strictly cast

There will be no elimination this weekend, but the judges – Shirley Ballas, Anton du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, and Craig Revel Horwood – were on hand to give their first lot of feedback of the series.

After competing in a dance-off, it will then be up to the judges to decide who will stay and who will go.
