Motsi Mabuse has given fans a rare look into her personal life as she revealed her "baby is coming".

The professional dancer and Strictly Come Dancing judge, 43, keeps her family out of the limelight, preferring to share career updates on her social media. However, she made an exception as she told fans she had a 'baby' on the way. Motsi shared a snap on her Instagram that showed a huge crane outside her house in Germany.

It was carrying a large box from Beta Wellness as Motsi captioned the photo: "Our baby is coming." The company sells hot tubs, swim spas and sauna that people can purchase for their home. Motsi is a mum, having welcomed her only child with husband and former dance partner Evgenij Voznyuk back in 2018.

The couple decided to keep her out of the spotlight and never publicly shared her name. However, during the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing the TV star accidently let it slip. While giving feedback to Layton Williams and his professional partner Nikita Kuzmin, Motsi mistakenly called Nikita by her daughter’s name before correcting herself.

She said: “I have to say the acting part, the sentiment of all that. I think it’s so beautiful. Your fingers when you dance, they look so detailed, so beautiful. I just feel, just as detailed as you are with other things, other things have to be more detailed.” It was then her daughter’s name slipped out, as she continued: “The centre is too open, so if it’s open it’s difficult for [start of daughter’s name]. I’m sorry. I just said my daughter’s name.

“You know I’m a mum! I'm a mum! Nikita and my daughter’s names are quite similar. Sorry everybody. So Nikita can’t lead it with an open centre. And the second thing, is watch the feet.” To celebrate their daughter's fifth birthday, the couple decided to post a rare video of their little girl but kept her identity covered.

Motsi captioned the post: “And just like that we are 5 years old!!! Every day you bless us with joy!!! Definitely by far the best thing that has ever happened to me #birthdaygirl”. Revealing why she keeps her little one out of the spotlight, the Strictly judge recently told The Guardian: “We did one video because she turned five, but as much as I love talking about her, we keep it all so separate."

The TV star became an aunt recently as her famous sister Oti welcomed her first child. The Dancing On Ice judge announced on Christmas Day that he had given birth following a "miracle pregnancy". Motsi shared a sweet message to her sister as she said: "Nobody teaches you how to be an older sister and even though my sister is a mom the instinct to help, to protect and be there doesn't stop. I want to protect her from everything but I know I can't. Sometimes I wish I wasn't the first born because I think you inherit the responsibility. So so proud of you sis. You are going to be a fierce mom."
