Strictly's Motsi Mabuse spotted 'rolling eyes' at Craig Revel-Horwood on results show

Strictly Come Dancing's Motsi Mabuse has further fuelled rumours of a rift with Craig Revel-Horwood after appearing to roll her eyes at her fellow judge on Sunday's results show.

Fans were quick to jump on the scenes as the duo discussed the previous night's action from the dance floor. The pair were sitting on the sofa talking to co-host Claudia Winkleman about Craig's low scoring of Molly Rainford's efforts.

Craig, 57, only held up the 'six' card after the singer's performance with Carlos Gu, while Motsi, 41, handed the couple a hefty score of nine.

During the discussion, Claudia asked which judge's score was correct, leading Motsi to quickly say: "Is it even a question? Listen, this girl is a remarkable young talented girl, she has such a co-ordinated body and knows how to use the energy in her body economically...she is just great."

As Craig then tried to defend himself, Motsi fired him a dagger stare.

He said: "I think I explained myself very very well," before adding Molly's routine "looked choreographed rather than improvised".

At this point, Motsi turned to fellow judge Shirley Ballas, 62, and was seen noticeably rolling her eyes.

When Craig had finished putting his point across, Motsi groaned: "Oh Craig, oh Craig," before finishing with a grin.

The latest back and forth comes as rumours continue to grow regarding the pair's apparently strained relationship. During Saturday's show, Motsi had appeared to swipe at Craig as she branded him a "diva" following his stern comments regarding Molly's performance.

It's the second time she's branded Craig a diva and she gasped: "Diva! Diva! What's happening," following him calling sections of the dance "ugly".

As she pointed her finger at him and laughed, Craig simply shook his head with a look of bemusement. Motsi continued: "I don't know what's up with the boys."

She acknowledged Anton Du Beke's seemingly critical comments too and questioned whether the costumes had an effect on their words.

Sunday's show saw James Bye become the fifth celeb to be voted off the contest after facing Fleur East in the dreaded dance off.

The EastEnders actor was visibly emotional as Tess Daly told him he should be proud of his achievements on the show and reiterated how proud his sons will be of his efforts.
