Oti has teamed up with Motsi before

Oti recently had her sister appear on her BBC Radio 4 show Oti Mabuse’s Dancing Legends.

The pair reminisced about their childhoods and how they both developed their dance careers.

While Oti already knew a lot about Motsi, she shared that the nine-year age gap between them meant that she didn’t know everything.

Motsi also shared a story about their other sister, Phemelo, who got Motsi in trouble by getting her to skip dance school.

She shared: “I went with her, we missed practice.”

But when the pair got caught, Motsi told her sister Phemelo: “You are my downfall, I am never ever following you to anything!”
