Moment Strictly’s Motsi Mabuse ‘rolls her eyes’ at Craig Revel-Horwood on results show amid feud rumours
MOTSI Mabuse continued to fuel feud rumours between her and Craig Revel-Horwood on Strictly Come Dancing’s results show.
Fans saw the moment Motsi rolled her eyes while Craig was talking during the Halloween results episode which aired on October 31.
It came as the judges were doing their weekly debrief with co-host Claudia Winkelman during the Sunday night episode.
The BBC show panel, which also includes Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke, were discussing the fact that Craig only scored Molly Rainford a six, while Motsi gave her a nine.
Asked which of them was correct, Motsi quickly jumped in: “Is it even a question? Listen, this girl is a remarkable young talented girl, she has such a co-ordinated body and knows how to use the energy in her body economically…she is just great.”
Motsi then looked at Craig who went on to defend himself.

“I think I explained myself very very well,” he began, before claiming Molly’s routine “looked choreographed rather than improvised.”
At this comment, Motsi turned to fellow judge Shirley and could be seen visibly rolling her eyes.
As Craig then finished his point, Motsi said “Oh Craig, Oh Craig” with a fixed grin.
It comes amid ongoing rumours of a feud between the pair and Motsi appeared to take a swipe at Craig during the Halloween episode on Saturday October 29.

Motsi branded Craig a “diva” after he was harsh in his judging of CBBC star Molly – and it was a telling swipe given that Craig used the same insult about Motsi in a recent interview.
“Diva! Diva! What’s happening,” Motsi said as she turned to Craig following his stinging critique where he called parts of Molly’s dance “ugly”.
She then pointed her finger at him, before turning back to host Tess Daly and laughing.
Craig, meanwhile shook his head and appeared bemused.
“I don’t know what’s up with the boys” Motsi then added, acknowledging that Anton Du Beke had also been critical. “Maybe it’s the costumes…”
The ‘diva’ comment was an interesting choice of words given an interview Craig gave to The Sun on Sunday.
Explaining how low-maintenance he is compared to fellow judge Motsi, he said: “Motsi’s got six people in her dressing room doing the make-up, the lipstick, the eyes, the false eyelashes, her hair, her dress. She’s a diva.
“Whereas I have no one. I do my own. I do my own hair and make-up.”
Motsi then broke her silence last week, appearing to hint at a backstage feud.
Sharing someone’s reel on Instagram of “bad workplace culture”, Motsi seemed to refer to bad feeling between the pair.

The caption on the footage she shared read: “When a company has bad workplace culture but the CEO is forcing them to bond.”
It then showed someone falling backwards to be caught by others – but is dropped on the floor.
