During tonight’s show, Motsti took a swipe at pro dancer Neil.
The awkward moment happened whilst the judge was giving some feedback to Karen Carney and Carlos Gu following their routine.
The former footie star and her pro dance partner had just finished a Samba to The Rhythm of Life from the musical, Sweet Charity.
Speaking to Karen and Carlos, Motsi praised the spins they did during the routine.
“You went into a spin and promenade, and that is sooo hard,” she said.
Neil Jones could then be heard shouting “YEAH” in agreement from the balcony.

“You get a partner next year, and I’ll be careful what numbers I’ll be pulling!” she said.
She then reached behind her and pulled out a score paddle with the number two on it.
“Any more noise from you!” she scolded, as Neil laughed up in the gallery.
Motsi then went back to praising Karen and Carlos on their routine, eventually awarding them a score of eight.
