The dance expert can communicate in five languages, but requires fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood to translate when speaking to contestants from the north of England
Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has claimed that she can’t understand northern accents, despite speaking five languages. In the latest episode of the Off Menu podcast, she said that regional dialects from the north of England are borderline unintelligible to her.
“The thing is, you [Britons] all speak differently. Every time I’m in the country I really have to concentrate. Some people I just don’t know … I’m just like, ‘Are we speaking the same language?’” she said. “There’s a lot of accents here.”
