The BBC have today (finally!) announced who will be replacing Dame Darcey on the judging panel and I can reveal that the new judge is………
Motsi Mabuse
Motsi is no stranger to the judging panel having worked as a judge on the German version of Strictly since 2011 following a stint as a pro since 2007. She is also the sister of Strictly Pro Oti Mabuse.
Speaking to the BBC Motsi had this to say about her new role: “I am absolutely overjoyed to be joining the Strictly judging panel. I have so much respect and admiration for the other three judges and hope to add my own bit of sparkle to the show. I can’t wait to get started!”
What do you think of the new judge? You can let me know your thoughts right here in the comments or over on Facebook or Twitter using the links above.
We’re heading towards Strictly season which means my costs are soon going to sky rocket and hosting this site will soon start costing me over £300 a month. If you can afford to and want to help me out with these costs or just want to buy me a beer you can do so using THIS LINK or the button below

Wow, hope Oti is still going to be one of the professional dancers though
I think she will be. I believe Motsi has judged Oti before on the German version so its not going to be new for either of them
