Motsi Mabuse divides Strictly Come Dancing fans with Karen Carney feedback
People were not happy!
Motsi Mabuse has come under fire for her “ridiculous” feedback to Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Carney.
The glitzy BBC One show returned to screens on Saturday night (October 4) for its second live show. Taking to the dance floor, were famous faces like Amber Davies, Alex Kingston and Thomas Skinner.
Footballer Karen Carney performed too with partner Carlos Gu. However, when it came to judge Motsi’s feedback on Karen’s dance, fans were not at all impressed…

Strictly Karen Carney on ‘really hard’ health issue
On Strictly on Saturday night (October 4) Karen and Carlos performed a tango to the Dua Lipa song Training Season.
However, during the VT, and before their dance, Karen opened up about suffering from a spinal health issue.
“I have this thing called Scheuermann’s. I’ve had it since I was a kid. It’s a curve in my spine. It’s really, really hard for me to open my back up,” Karen shared.
She added: “There’s certain elements that I just won’t be able to do as well.”
Nonetheless, that didn’t stop Karen from giving it 100% as she and Carlos took to the dance floor to perform their routine.
Once they were done, Karen and Carlos received their feedback – but it was judge Motsi’s comment that didn’t go down well with people watching at home.

What did Motsi say about Karen?
Motsi said: “First of all thank you for sharing with us about your curved spine.”It is going to be something that we have to challenge to see how far we can stretch and open because it is a ballroom dance and a specific posture that we need.”
She then noted that she could “feel the nerves” from Karen, but added that she performed some “great spins”.
Motsi also shared: “Think about breathing, loosening up, connecting to your partner and really understanding the fundamentals, and then we will get there.”
After receiving the feedback, Karen and Carol were given their scores. Craig Revel Horwood gave them 4, Motsi gave 5, Shirley Ballas gave 5 and Anton Du Beke gave 6, giving them a total of 20 points.

Viewers slam Motsi for Karen feedback
However, Strictly viewers took an issue with Motsi’s feedback and rushed over to X to call her out.
One person fumed: “Quite disgusted that Karen opened up about having a condition that causes a curved spine and Motsi’s reaction was to say they should “challenge” it instead of accommodating it.”
Another added: “So Karen says she has a curved spine and Motsi says she needs to stretch it out. What is the woman on? Criticising someone for something they cannot do anything about is beyond ridiculous.”
A third chimed in: “Did Motsi just suggest that Karen has to ‘work’ on her spine curvature.”
Someone else mused: “Motsi being a bit harsh and too personal with mentioning the curved spine and how it may affect her scoring.. It’s a medical condition. Hope she treats all other competitors with that same view point!”
A fifth wrote: “Thank u craig for adding some positives atleast, god forbid someone has something they CANNOT change. you can’t fix a curved spine overnight.”
