Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has asked viewers to give the programme’s new hosts time, warning that relentless criticism could make artificial intelligence seem preferable to real presenters
Josh Widdicombe, Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe faced a mixed reception during Saturday’s first live show, with some viewers questioning the three-person format and Josh missing a couple of cues
Motsi also shared a playful exchange with Craig Revel Horwood, joking that Josh must decide whether they were friends or rivals
The first elimination will take place next Sunday.
