Strictly Come Dancing judges Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas disagreed with Craig Revel Horwood’s critique of Montell Douglas’ and Johannes Radebe’s Waltz this evening
Motsi Mabuse dramatically stood up and said “I’m going home” as she clashed with fellow Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood during the live show this evening.
The judges had very different opinions after Olympian Montell Douglas performed a Waltz to Whitney Houston’s hit song “I Will Always Love You” with her dance partner Johannes Radebe. Giving feedback on the dance, Craig said: “I wish it could’ve been a little bit softer, a little bit lighter throughout.
“It bothered me that your frame was constantly going in and out.” He was interrupted by head judge Shirley Ballas, who said: “I don’t agree with you at all.” And Motsi also disagreed with Craig as she declared “I’m going home” before swapping seats with Shirley.

Many people commented on the exchange on social media with a person saying: “Motsi is just hilarious.” But several people disagreed with Motsi and Shirley interrupting Craig as one: “What gives Motsi & Shirley the right to not allow Craig to give his opinion? This is not the first time they’ve cut him off and prevented him from finishing his critique. If men did that to a female judge there would be mayhem!”
And someone else added: “How are the celebs meant to improve if they don’t hear critique! It can’t all be love and positivity.” Another Strictly fan agreed, saying: “Totally agree, this series both Shirley & Motsi have interrupted Craig many times, he doesn’t interrupt them, it’s rude, nasty and drives me mad. Please stop.”

This evening, Strictly stars took to the dancefloor for the first-ever Icons Week, with presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman welcomed back the 10 remaining couples. Fans were moved as Amy Dowden was seen struggling to hold back tears as her partner JB Gill and professional dancer Lauren Oakley received a near-perfect score for their performance.
The JLS star danced the Couples Choice during this Saturday’s instalment of the BBC One show with Lauren Oakley to a medley of music from Bruno Mars’ long discography – and the judges were left in awe. Shirley, Motsi and Anton Du Beke awarded them a 10, while Craig gave them a 9. But the total score of 39 was enough to leave Amy, who returned to the ballroom to support JB, in tears.

After Amy collapsed last week, a spokesperson for the dancer said: “Amy was feeling unwell and so an ambulance was called as a precaution. She is feeling much better and would like to thank the Strictly family for their love and concern. We request Amy’s privacy in matters of health is kindly respected.”
