Strictly Come Dancing 2019: Neil Jones red-faced after Motsi Mabuse’s ‘affair’ comments

Strictly Come Dancing 2019 kicked off the show with a bang this evening as Alex Scott and Neil Jones began the show. Dancing the Jive, the pair put on quite the show. As the first dance together since Neil’s injury, fans were eager to see how well they got on together.

However, when it came to the judges’ comments, viewers were left gobsmacked by Motsi Mabuse’s comments.

While most of the judges’ comments were quite positive, Motsi decided to describe Neil’s return to the dance floor with a metaphor.

Referring to Alex dancing with stand-in professional Kevin Clifton for some weeks, she explained: “I feel like we have seen a new couple that we knew.

“But then somebody had an affair, and now the light is back on.”
