Oti and Motsi Mabuse 'sign up to host Every Family Dance Now'
Oti and Motsi Mabuse have reportedly signed up to host ‘Every Family Dance Now’ after both working on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Oti and Motsi Mabuse have reportedly signed up to host new show ‘Every Family Dance Now’.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ sisters are said to “love working together” and they are keen for the pilot they have filmed to be commissioned for a full series.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper's Hot TV column: “Oti and Motsi are really hoping the show becomes a big hit because they love working together.”
The programme pits groups of relatives against each other in a series of dancing challenges.
Motsi, 42, and Oti, 32, rose to fame on 'Strictly' after their childhood spent living in South Africa and later worked in Germany competing on the dance circuit.
Motsi - who still appears on the show as a judge while her sister is no longer a professional dancer on the show - recently revealed she struggles to understand northern accents despite speaking five languages and gets fellow judge Craig Revel-Horwood to “translate” for some contestants.
She told Ed Gamble, 37, and James Acaster, 38, on their ‘Off Menu’ podcast: “The thing is, you [Britons] all speak differently. Every time I’m in the country I really have to concentrate. Some people I just don’t know … I’m just like, ‘Are we speaking the same language?' There’s a lot of accents here.
“I really struggle with people that come from the North. I’m like, can you please translate at this point? It’s so strong, I just don’t understand, really. I’m being honest...
"But there have been quite a few people from the north, so I’m always asking Craig. I’m just trying to understand … but it’s not easy.”
Motsi - who still lives in Germany, where she works on their version of the contest - admitted that sometimes she finds it hard with her own accent.
She added: “It’s happened quite a few time. Plus I have that South African accent, so it’s a mess. It’s a complete mess.”
