Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has insisted she is “going home” after a clash with fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood over his brutal comments. The disagreement occurred during Saturday’s episode of the popular BBC dancing competition, when Craig gave a harsh critique of Fleur East and Vito Coppola’s performance. Motsi defended the couple, leading to a heated exchange between the two judges.
The disagreement is the latest in a series of tensions between Motsi and Craig. In recent weeks, Craig has referred to Motsi as “my darling” in a sarcastic tone, while Motsi has called him “rude.” The tension between the two judges has been palpable, and it seems that Motsi has finally reached her breaking point.
During Saturday’s episode, Craig gave Fleur and Vito a score of just four, the lowest score of the night. He criticized the couple’s performance, saying that it was “lacking in energy” and that Fleur’s footwork was “messy.” Motsi disagreed with Craig’s assessment, saying that she thought Fleur and Vito had done a “great job.” She also criticized Craig for his harsh tone, saying that he was being “unfair.”
The exchange between Motsi and Craig quickly escalated into a heated argument. Motsi accused Craig of being “rude” and “disrespectful.” Craig defended himself, saying that he was simply giving his honest opinion. The argument continued for several minutes, with neither judge backing down.
At one point, Motsi threatened to leave the show. “I’m going home!” she exclaimed. “I’m not going to sit here and be disrespected by you.” Craig was taken aback by Motsi’s threat, but he refused to apologize for his comments. The argument eventually ended, but the tension between the two judges remained.
The disagreement between Motsi and Craig has divided Strictly Come Dancing fans. Some viewers have sided with Motsi, arguing that Craig’s comments were too harsh. Others have defended Craig, saying that he is simply doing his job as a judge. It remains to be seen whether the disagreement between Motsi and Craig will have any lasting impact on the show.
