During Strictly Come Dancing's live broadcast on Saturday night (26 September), judge Motsi Mabuse playfully admonished new host Josh Widdicombe. The moment happened while Craig Revel Horwood was giving his critique of Dame Sarah Storey and Julian Caillon's dance routine. At that point, Mabuse confirmed she agreed with his assessment. Widdicombe then made a joke about it being time to hear from Shirley Ballas, which led Mabuse to quip, "Are we going to be friends or enemies? You choose now."
Widdicombe was hosting Strictly Come Dancing for the first time live, alongside co-presenters Johannes Radebe and Emma Willis. He took over the hosting duties from previous hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. The show, which airs on BBC One, features celebrities dancing to music with professional partners, followed by critiques from a panel of judges.
The exchange between Mabuse and Widdicombe was lighthearted and reflected the show's usual mix of humor and high energy. Such moments are common in live television, where hosts and judges often engage in playful banter to entertain the audience and maintain a lively atmosphere.
Strictly Come Dancing has been a popular British television series since its debut in 2004, bringing together celebrities and professional dancers in a competitive setting. The show has become a staple of the BBC's autumn schedule, drawing large audiences and generating significant media attention each week.
