Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse continued to showcase her remarkable weight loss with a series of stunning bikini photos on Sunday. The 45-year-old dancer modeled a tiny two-piece following the announcement that Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe will replace Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman as the BBC show's new hosts.
Motsi's Bikini Look
Motsi looked sensational in a sparkly silver bikini featuring a quirky harness-inspired top and skimpy bottoms. She completed the ensemble with a silk black cover-up that she let slip down her shoulders, flaunting her incredible curves. She captioned the post: "Summer has arrived … let's welcome bikini season Woop Woop."
Weight Loss Journey
Previously, Motsi revealed that instead of turning to weight loss jabs for her new look, she had gone back to basics. She credited weight training and eating nuts, fruit, and salad as the answer to her jaw-dropping weight loss. She also cited menopause as sparking her motivation to get fit for "what's to come." She told The Sun: "I hate the fact that every podcast or everything I see online about [menopause] is based on fearmongering. I've never heard anyone say, 'Don't worry, it's not that bad!' I even asked Shirley Ballas. 'Will it be OK?' and she shook her head, saying, 'No, it's going to be a ride!'"
New Hosts Announcement
Earlier this week, the BBC confirmed Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and Johannes Radebe as successors to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman in a major show shake-up. Comedian Josh expressed his excitement about his role on the podcast "Parenting Hell" with fellow comedian Rob Beckett. Discussing his co-stars, he called himself "the runt of the litter," saying: "I'm a weird-looking little guy. I realised I've been cast with two of the most striking looking people on television." On his height, he added: "Jojo is 6'2", Emma's the same height as me but she'll be wearing heels. We've already discussed it's going to be fun for the Halloween special; I may be the first person to go as Damon Albarn on Icons Night."
Rob, 40, warned potential trolls that he would hit back at critics of his co-host, who he teased for landing the role despite frequently complaining about his busy schedule and time away from home after moving from London to Exeter. Josh joked that he would not have been in the bookies' running due to his unlikely casting, while Rob accused him of "lying" during his appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier in the week.
After much speculation, the trio were announced on Tuesday in a tradition-busting decision by bosses to have three hosts after 22 years of a two-person hosting team. On the podcast, Rob congratulated Josh, who replied: "It's wild… I suppose it's one of the biggest shows in modern history, along with I'm A Celebrity, Big Brother. I'm glad it's out there because I've been lying to people." When Rob accused him of acting like a politician on GMB, Josh said: "I didn't lie on Good Morning Britain, I evaded questions."
The duo discussed the promo shoot, which saw Josh in a navy suit, Johannes in a plunging green ensemble, and Emma in a jumpsuit, all holding glitter balls. Josh said: "Lovely Emma and Jojo. This is recorded just after the announcement. I love the photo… We are [having loads of fun]. My face is disbelieving…"
