STRICTLY judge Motsi Mabuse has shut down a professional dancer after he shouted out during her remarks on the show.
Strictly Come Dancing is nearing its final stages, with the five remaining couples back for Musicals Week.
Karen Carney and her partner Carlos performed an energetic samba to The Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity.
Giving her feedback, Motsi said: “One spin here was absolutely sensational. That was so difficult and you pulled it off.”
However, professional dancer Neil Jones interrupted the judge by shouting down from the balcony before she was finished her comments.
Motsi turned towards him and shouted: “Neil, you get a partner next year and I’ll be careful what numbers I will be pulling.”
She then held up the number two towards him as the panel laughed off the interruption and Motsi then continued her feedback.
Viewers took to social media and one wrote: “Motsi shutting down Neil is EVERYTHING to me lol.”
Another said: “The shade towards Neil from Motsi. IM DEAD!”
While a third declared: “Not Motsi calling out Neil and giving him a 2 bwahaha.”
This comes after Strictly’s Katya Jones took a swipe at her ex-husband Neil and said “we were never really good”,
The professional dancers were married for six years and together for 11 when they decided to separate in summer 2019.
This week, Katya appeared on Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two alongside the show’s Amy Dowden, as the pair competed in a samba pro challenge.
It Takes Two host Janette Manrara asked their predictions for how the other pros might do in the challenge.
She asked: “Out of the pros left, who do you ladies think will be a good challenger for the 33 at the top?”.
“I am saying Neil this year,” said Amy.
But Katya joked: “Why does everyone say Neil? We were never good at Samba!”
Janet replied: “Well we will have to wait and find out, there is still plenty more to go.”
She then turned to Katya and said: “Neil will love you for that one!” as the pair giggled together.
