Oooh Motsi has to self isolate for 14 days but apparently will be on the show via video.

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 12/11/2020 21:14

Motsi too?

That’ll have been Bruno down her frock. Not much social distancing there....

Bloody hell, dropping like flies! Come Saturday, there’ll just be two couples left, dancing in front of no judges, while Dave Arch does a one-man-band scenario in lieu of an orchestra and Johannes sings his own made-up words Grin
CaveMum · 12/11/2020 21:23

Motsi hasn’t had contact with a case, she’s self isolating as she had to go to Germany.

This is on her Twitter

Will she be 'judging' via video link!?

I've got a really bad feeling about Strictly now Sad I think they'd have been better if they'd have all self isolated in a massive hotel for the entire of the series.. not very practical at all.. but not sure how this is going to play out now with them dropping like flies to isolate.

unique1986 · 12/11/2020 21:36

Yeah I'm sure they could cope all living without their families.
Get a grip.

iklboogeymum · 12/11/2020 21:36

@BigBadVoodooHat - I'd pay to see that.

unique1986 · 12/11/2020 21:37

The show is a full time commitment time flies by until you get kicked off the show.
It's not like they all last the distance anyway.

It sounds better than the actual show, doesn’t it? Grin

lynsey91 · 12/11/2020 21:41

I got excited then thinking there would be no Motsi on Saturday but no we are still going to have to suffer her shouting absolute nonsense

stillsomewhatsheldonesque · 12/11/2020 22:14

bigbadvoodoohat 🤣

Although I suspect the plugger would also be furiously mouthing samfarmersamfarmersamfarmer whenever the cameraman swung her way...

lynsey91 · 12/11/2020 22:21

Just a thought on Motsi. We are not meant to be travelling abroad so how and why did she go to Germany?

I know she has family there but people here can't even visit their parents/grandparents.

No wonder it is spreading when people seem unable to abide by the rules

She lives in Germany so it’s not the case that she’s a UK resident travelling abroad. You are permitted to travel as long as you observe the isolation periods, which is what she is doing.
Theromanempire · 12/11/2020 22:34

So this is going well isn't it? HmmConfused

Katya and Nicola- no great loss really but not the way you want to leave is it?

Why cant they get a guest judge in? The judges aren't in bubbles, they are just adhering to social distancing whilst in the studio, so there is no reason why someone - Anton, Ian Waite perhaps - couldn't step in to cover.

ThrawnCow · 12/11/2020 22:40

I've never looked forward to seeing Motsi as much as I am now.

BenoneBeauty · 12/11/2020 22:47

I really hope Anton doesn't step in - hope they get someone good!

ineedaholidaynow · 12/11/2020 22:57

@BigBadVoodooHat if there are still issues with audience the final is going to be very quiet as the eliminated dancers aren't going to be there to cheer everyone on.

covetingthepreciousthings · 12/11/2020 23:19

Actually for two weeks.. I don't think I'd mind him sitting in as a judge.. which pains me to say, but I'd be interested to see what he said.

covetingthepreciousthings · 12/11/2020 23:20

Having said that.. I'd obviously rather have Ian Waite..

BenoneBeauty · 12/11/2020 23:29

Oh no @covetingthepreciousthings, I imagine he's the kind of person that once he gets a sniff, he'll get fully in there and there'll be no going back!

MoonJelly · 13/11/2020 00:09

It’s just occurred to me that they presumably won’t be able to have the couples come back to perform in the final like they usually do: once the couples are eliminated both pro & celeb will be going back to their families, so they won’t be ‘bubbled’ by the time of the final so won’t be able to dance together.

Maybe they could do socially distanced dances like Oti and Kelvin in the opening show?

MoonJelly · 13/11/2020 00:10

@unique1986

Yeah I'm sure they could cope all living without their families. Get a grip.
They could be in a hotel with their families, as happened in Bake Off. Though I suppose the Beeb would have to lay on tuition for school age children etc.
unique1986 · 13/11/2020 00:27

I'm curious if anyone will drop out of I'm a Celeb due to covid now...
I bet they dont get as tested as much on purpose.

MrsDoctorDear · 13/11/2020 02:04

It appears Anton will be covering. Hopefully he works out well and doesn't go over the top. I think he'll take it really seriously so they'll consider him again in the future.

Can't see this series lasting!

Really? Well obviously my crystal ball was working last night Grin I agree with a pp that I am interested in how he acts as a judge.
