Strictly's Motsi Mabuse gets set to judge another show as line-up announcement made

Motsi Mabuse will be kept busy in the aftermath of the announcement of this year's Strictly judging line-up, as she takes to the panel of another TV dance show.

Strictly Come Dancing has been part of British culture for nearly two decades now, having made its debut in the summer of 2004 and quickly becoming a big ratings success for the BBC. Winners down the years have included first ever champion Natasha Kaplinsky, as well as many others including Jill Halfpenny, Louis Smith, Joe McFadden, Stacey Dooley, current champ Rose Ayling-Ellis and the late Caroline Flack.

And, as well as many different Glitterball trophy winners, Strictly's judging panel has also been home to a host of different faces over the years. Guest judges have included Alfonso Ribero and Cynthia Erivo, while former full-time judges include Len Goodman, Arlene Phillips and Darcey Bussell. On Thursday evening, the judging line-up for this year's show was confirmed online, with the panel staying exactly the same, meaning that Bruno Tonioli is absent again.
