Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has said that she is "sad" to not see her sister, professional dancer Oti, return to the BBC One dancing show.

Oti, who currently features on ITV's The Masked Dancer, announced her decision to leave Strictly in February. She had been dancing on the show for seven years and following her departure, has been working on various ITV projects.
