On Sunday night's Strictly Come Dancing, there were tears as Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova were the latest dancing duo to be eliminated.

Motsi Mabuse, 41, has judged on Strictly Come Dancing since 2019, taking over the role from Darcey Bussell, joining Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood on the panel. Having since opened her own dance school, Motsi has reflected on her own experiences in South Africa as a child where she received heavy "emotional abuse and manipulation" as well as physical abuse from her dance teachers.Motsi, who was born in Mankwe, South Africa, started dancing when she was six years old and was competing by the time she turned 11.The BBC star has now opened up about the physical and emotional abuse she received from some of her dance teachers.Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Motsi admitted: "Some of them [my dance teachers] were good and inspirational but some of the relationships were abusive."And, you know, when you speak about abuse, sometimes people tend to be like, 'Yeah, where did he hit you? How did he hit you? Show me pictures.'"But stuff like manipulation and emotional abuse, those are kind of things you can't see.

She went on: "It's like a big family and this year, everyone is so nice and sweet to each other."I don't know who will go next because everyone's good."Kai - who was eliminated from the competition in week one with Kaye Adams - added: "You haven't got time to focus on anyone else."You can only give the best yourself."Richie also revealed that, despite accusations of some of the judges being too harsh, he was very happy with his and Giovanni's high scores after a difficult start in week one. The pair - who danced together on the BBC competition - were separated during the show, while all the other celebrities sat side-by-side with their professional partners.Fans had felt the something appeared off about the pair. Giovanni addressed the rumours, and reassured fans that "everything is okay".Speaking on It Takes Two, Gio looked straight into the camera and said: "There is no problem between us, we are having a good time."Forget about what you're writing, it's not true."Richie also shared a video of their first live performance, a Cha Cha Cha to I'm Your Man by Wham.He said: "A moment I’ll never forget and so lucky I got to share it with Giovanni."Thank you Gio for being the best teacher over the past fortnight."The professional dancer and his celebrity partner waved goodbye to the BBC competition last Sunday after failing to impress the judges in the dance off.They had gone head-to-head with Fleur East in the dance off before being sent home.The pair's final routine was the Samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King, but they were scored only 27 points.

Strictly Come Dancing fans were shocked to see Kym Marsh in the dreaded dance-off during Sunday night's results show but their surprise soon turned to confusion when talk turned to next weekend.
