Motsi said in a statement on her Twitter account: "Being double vaccinated and booster as I am, would normally mean exemption from isolation under the 'close contact' rules, but unfortunately German EU vaccines are not recognised and neither is my booster in this instance." Motsi continued saying that she must follow UK government guidance. She is with her family and healthy adding "that's what matters". Motsi's withdrawal from the judging panel means a replacement has been arranged. Who is replacing Motsi Mabuse on the judging panel? Craig Revel-Horwood's positive Covid test meant he had a replacement. The same stand-in judge, Cynthia Erivo, who is an English actress, singer and songwriter will return this week. A Strictly spokesperson has said about Cynthia's return: "A statement said: "We are delighted that Cynthia Erivo will be joining us as a guest judge again, joining Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge, Shirley Ballas on the judging panel. "We look forward to having Motsi back with us next weekend.” The next show of Strictly Come Dancing will air at 6.55pm on Saturday, November 27.
