Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has spoken out about the harrowing emotional and physical abuse she says she suffered at the hands of her dance teachers in South Africa as a child.
The former professional dancer, 41, claimed she was physically abused, manipulated and subjected to cruel taunts as she learned to dance.
Motsi said her tough childhood has led her to take measures to ensure pupils at her own dance school don’t face the same mistreatment.
