Strictly's Motsi says it's a 'Christmas wonder' as she and Craig finally agree after months of 'feuding'

Motsi Mabuse said it was a "Christmas wonder" as her and Craig Revel Horwood finally agreed on Strictly Come Dancing.

The pair never seemed to agree throughout their time on the main show this year - with the pair regularly coming into a war of words over their thoughts on the dances or Craig's comments about Motsi's outfits.

But they seem to have finally agreed for this year's Christmas special which aired on BBC One tonight.

Giving his verdict on Moira's dance, he said: "I'm going to be really really nice! I loved that. You came down the stairs like Shirley Bassey. You had all that confidence and you got into a fabulous groove. It was great - and hip action darling, amazing!"

Host Tess Daly then cut over to Motsi, who told Craig: "A Christmas wonder, we agree!" before adding: "I absolutely loved it. I loved how you were just walking down the stairs doing the salsa, look at me."

Later, when they were giving critique to Mel Giedroyc, Motsi commented on Craig being extra nice.

"I wish every day was Christmas, he's so nice today!" she told her fellow judge as they gave their verdicts.

It comes after fans claimed there was beef between the two, as Motsi told Craig she "didn't know what was going on" between the pair of them.

The acid-tongued dancer and choreographer took aim at her outfit, as he said: "Darling, I know what's going on with you," before gesturing towards her shoulder pads.

However, Motsi quickly fired back: "I'm a queen baby, look at my crown!"

In the same show, Craig made another dig towards Motsi, as he said before giving his verdict: "I'm finding it difficult to talk now because Motsi was screaming in German throughout."

"Can you just be quiet when the dancing is on please, darling?" he added, as he spoke to Motsi directly.

Fans noticed the drama on social media, with one writing: "Craig vs Motsi tonight is jokes #Strictly."

Another added: "Highlight of the night? Craig's seething jealousy of @MOTSI _MABUSE shoulder pads. 'I am a queen, look at my crown'," as a third wrote: "I have to say Craig Revel Horwood is bloody grumpy today. Didn’t like his snapping at Motsi at all. #Strictly."
