‘I have learned that to be with those I like is enough’: Strictly’s Motsi Mabuse shares bold post as she watches show in self-isolation while Anton du Beke fills in for her after trip to Germany

Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse shared a bold post on Saturday as she watched the show from home following an ‘urgent trip’ to Germany.

In stunning images shared to Instagram, the panellist, 39, glammed it up while in quarantine as professional dancer Anton du Beke, 54, made his debut on the judging panel.

The choreographer defiantly wrote in an accompanying caption: ‘I have learned that to be with those I like is enough’ as she continues to isolate for the next 14 days in accordance with government guidelines in the fight against COVID-19.

The media personality, who had appeared on the programme virtually, highlighted her curves in a one-shouldered monochrome dress as she posed with her heels in her hands.

Oti Mabuse’s older sister complemented her beauty with a slick of red lipstick and embraced her naturally coiled tresses.

The TV star thanked her fans for their support during her absence as she wrote alongside a separate post: ‘Thank you for the love ❤️ Thank you @themelmercier we did it girl!!! More of me on Twitter #strictly.’ (sic)

She worked with police to ‘solve the crime’ and will be improving security at her school.

As well as posting a lengthy caption in German, Motsi shared a snap of a broken glass door at her studio.

She penned: ‘Unfortunately we have no good news. Someone tried to break into our school @motsimabuse_taunustanzschule. 

‘We are working with the police to solve this crime. We know we have been targeted on purpose and we will improve security in our school that this will not happen again.’

A Strictly source confirmed to MailOnline on Thursday that Motsi is now back in the UK following her brief trip to Germany, where she runs the dance school and shares a home with husband Evgenij Voznyuk and their daughter, two.  

Current UK lockdown rules prohibit international travel except in ‘limited circumstances such as for work or for education’. 

Guidelines say ‘people who live outside the UK but work in the UK and travel between their country of residence and the UK at least once a week’ do not have to isolate.

Meanwhile, Anton looked over the moon as he took her place on the competition show.

The ballroom pro, who was booted off with celebrity partner Jacqui Smith in the first week, was introduced by hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman who said the judging panel was ‘different’ as he joined Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood.  

Grinning from ear to ear, Anton said: ‘I will endeavour to be much more generous than these two have been to me over the last few years. We should have a lovely night.’
