Motsi and Oti Mabuse's mum defends the pair from trolls on 'Strictly Come Dancing' social media groups.
Motsi Mabuse
The show judge revealed her and her pro dancer sibling's mother uses her own name on forums to hit back at their critics, but Motsi advises her mum not to respond to negative online comments.
She said: "For [my mum] it's really crazy, the interest in us.
"I told her, 'Mum, do not read anything on social media.' She is like in every 'Strictly' group and she's answering [comments].
"I'm like, 'Do not answer these people.' Her name is her real name and she just said to me, 'What would you do if it was your daughter?' I said, 'I wouldn't answer, I wouldn't read that stuff.' "
Motsi admits she gets angry with trolls, and while she writes out responses to messages, her husband convinces her to refrain from posting them.
She said: "I get so upset - well angry - then I write everything down, I answer them then I go to my husband and I put on my angry voice and [read my response] then he's like, 'OK darling, do you feel better?' and I'm like, 'Yes.'
"[He says] 'So delete it,' so it never gets out but I've got it out of the system."
Head judge Shirley Ballas recently opened up about receiving death threats after Radio 1 DJ Dev Griffin was surprisingly eliminated from the show.
Despite a unanimous verdict from all four judges, who also include Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli, several trolls took aim at Shirley online.
She said: "Somebody put a picture with my face on it digging my own grave [with a comment] 'Die B***h' and put me on a chicken spit."
Speaking in a joint interview on Saturday's (26.10.19) 'The Jonathan Ross Show', Craig added: "I always think of it as a comic strip, I never really think of it as anything. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course.
"I'm very opinionated. These people who are writing stuff online, I think, need to sometimes be [makes a zip sign across his mouth]."
Motsi, Craig and Shirley will appear on 'The Jonathan Ross Show' on Saturday at 10.10pm on ITV.
