Oti, 34, carved her name into the world of dance through Strictly before transitioning to ITV's Dancing on Ice and now, the jungle reality series. Despite parting ways with Strictly in 2022, Oti remains deeply connected to the show, even continuing to choreograph segments for it. She revealed that while she doesn’t always agree with Motsi's critiques, their love for the program keeps them engaged in lively debates.
Speaking recently on BBC Radio Essex, Oti shared her routine during Strictly season. She often catches up on episodes via streaming after working late in her dance studio. Once Motsi returns home, the two sisters debrief, dissecting performances and sharing opinions on the judging. Oti admitted she sometimes aligns with Craig Revel Horwood or other judges rather than her sister, sparking spirited discussions.
Motsi, 43, joined Strictly in 2019 after making her mark as a professional ballroom dancer and judge on Germany’s Let’s Dance . Her role on the show’s judging panel has added a fascinating layer to the sisters’ relationship, blending professional insights with familial ties.
Oti also touched on their family's journey, including their middle sister Phemelo, a mechanical engineer in South Africa who also boasts a background in ballroom and Latin dance. However, their lives have not been without hardship. The tragic loss of their half-brother Neo during their childhood profoundly impacted the family. Neo’s death by suicide led to painful ostracism in their community, a topic Motsi has spoken about with heartfelt candor.
Despite these challenges, the Mabuse sisters remain close, their bond strengthened by their mutual love of dance and shared experiences. As Oti battles it out in the jungle, her connection to her family and Strictly continues to inspire audiences worldwide.
