Spectator favorite on “Let’s Dance”: Motsi Mabuse looks so different without a wig

Motsi Mabuse (41) has been part of the jury on “Let’s Dance” since 2011: the South African won the hearts of RTL viewers with her emotional evaluation of the dancers. Always in focus: the looks and hair of the dancer, who usually wears a wig.

Cologne – After Motsi Mabuse became South African runner-up in Latin American dances, she emigrated to Germany and left her hometown of Pretoria. In 2007 she took part in “Lets Dance” as a professional dancer and danced with celebrity Guildo Horn.

In 2011, RTL decided to bring Motsi Mabuse as a juror on the “Let’s Dance” jury. She replaced professional dancer Isabel Edvarsson. At her debut in 2011, the 41-year-old sat next to fashion designer Harald Glööckler and Roman Frieling. From 2013, RTL will rely on the jury dream team of Jorge Gonzalez, Joachim Llambi and Motsi Mabuse.

With this combination, the RTL dance show gets good to very good ratings at prime time every spring. Above all, Motsi Mabuse captivates TV viewers with her exciting looks and perfect hair.

What not every RTL viewer knows: Motsi Mabuse almost always wears a wig or extensions (hair extensions) on television. During a question and answer session on Instagram, the dance school owner herself brought up the subject of wigs: “It might surprise you, but you know what? If you look at my Insta stories on my account, I’m always with my real hair.”

Motsi Mabuse shows her natural hair not only on Instagram. Even at official events, such as the Frankfurt Book Fair 2014, the professional dancer does not wear a wig.
