Motsi Mabuse moving to UK for this year's Strictly Come Dancing?

Motsi Mabuse is said to be moving to the UK to ensure she will be able to judge on this year\'s \'Strictly Come Dancing\' series.

The BBC Latin and ballroom show\'s panellist currently resides in Germany, but Motsi - the sister of \'Strictly\' pro dancer Oti Mabuse - her husband Evgenij Voznyuk and their daughter are thought to be searching for "a short-term rental".

A BBC source said: "Motsi doesn\'t want to take any risks so the current plan is for her and her family to move to the UK for the full run.

"She is going to find a short-term rental."

Motsi only joined the panel last year, and she "doesn\'t want anything to get in the way" of her second series.

The source added to The Sun newspaper\'s Bizarre TV column: "It\'s a big upheaval but she loved doing her first series last year and doesn\'t want anything to get in the way of her second."

It comes following reports that fellow judge Bruno Tonioli looks likely to miss out on this year\'s series as he is expected to commit himself to the US version, \'Dancing with the Stars\'.

The TV star typically divides his time between the US and the UK, but appearing on both programmes has been made virtually impossible this year due to travel restrictions linked to the coronavirus pandemic.

A source recently said: "There is no way to travel back and forth at the moment, so he\'s told bosses in the UK that unfortunately he will be staying over there.
