It won't be long until Strictly Come Dancing will be back on our TV screens, with the first few celebrities recently being confirmed for the 2022 series. Hollyoaks star Will Mellor, 46, was the first star to be announced, closely followed by former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh, 46, who is also set to put her dancing skills to the test later this year.
As Strictly fans begin to get ready for another series of the hit BBC One show, Motsi Mabuse has revealed what it's like to be a member of the judging panel, after she joined the show back in 2019. Motsi, 41, previously spoke to OK! about what happens behind the scenes on Strictly and which of her fellow judges she's closest to.
Motsi, whose younger sister Oti, 31, was previously a professional dancer on Strictly, revealed that there is "so much love" on the show, and she still gets goosebumps when she's waiting backstage. "My favourite thing about being on Strictly is just the few seconds [before] the show begins and you can feel backstage everybody's heightened energy.
And that live music goes on, every single time, goosebumps. Even now," she told OK! Motsi continued, saying: "What people actually do not know is behind the camera is that there is so much love in this show.
You just feel it the minute you walk in." Become an OK! VIP and see all our exclusives - for free! Become an OK! VIP and you will unlock access to all of our big exclusives...
