Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse, who landed the job in 2019, discussed why she thinks people need to stop ‘labelling’ others as she opened up on the racism she still faces
Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has hit back at critics who claim she only landed the job on the show 'because she’s black’.
Speaking on the podcast Reign with Josh Smith about doubts over her selection to be a Strictly judge, Motsi said: “What I really, really, really, really dislike is when people are like, 'she got it because she's black’. It takes away from every black woman and in my example, it takes away my experience.
She added: “When you just see the label, 'oh she's black, you know the first Strictly black judge, the first this,' it takes away 15 years of experience as a judge. It takes away 30 years of my experience as a dancer. She went on: “Everything needs to become a normality without saying, 'oh my gosh, we've got one black person, we've got a same sex couple, we've got this,' the labels, this is what we all really need to get over.
