Giving her own take on the Strictly Come Dancing theme, dancer Oti Mabuse tweeted her delighted reaction to the news that big sister Motsi is joining her on the BBC’s hit show.

“Yayyyy! !!! Da da da dadada daaaaa-da dada da da,” she wrote on Twitter, after discovering the 38-year-old former German Latin champion and South African champion would be taking over from Dame Darcey Bussell on the judging panel.

Head judge Shirley Ballas was quick to welcome her new fellow judge, who will join her alongside Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel-Horwood later this year. “Thrilled to welcome the fabulous @ MOTSI_MABUSE to the @bbcstrictly family. What exciting news! We are going g to have a ball, and you’re going to love every second xx” she tweeted.

Oti’s fellow dancer Aljaz Skorjanec was also delighted, tweeting a welcome and joking: “10 is my favorite number.”
