Motsi has already proved she's got the judging skills as she has been on panels for talent shows including: Germany's Let's Dance, BGT spin-off Das Supertalent and Stepping Out.

The dancer revealed she was fully prepared to go head to head with some of the other judges on the panel as she called conflict "inevitable".
