Strictly Judge Motsi Mabuse faces jail for claims about ex-husband
Reports today have claimed Strictly Come Dancing star Motsi Mabuse is facing a prison sentence after making a series of claims about her ex-husband. The Strictly judge has said that her ex, Timo Kulzac, exhibited controlling behaviour during their marriage.
However Motsi’s spokesperson has refuted these reports in a statement to ED!
Ex-husband sues Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse over ‘controlling’ claims
Writing in her autobiography, Finding My Own Rhythm: My Story, Motsi accused her ex-husband of controlling behaviour. This included his restricting her access to money, and deciding what and when she ate.
She claims that Timo gave her an allowance from her own television earnings. She also says that he rejected her pleas to have a baby.
The Sun has reported that Motsi’s ex-husband has refuted her claims – and is suing Motsi for £70,000. His lawyers allegedly demand that Motsi must stop “implying that the plaintiff made the defendant suffer during their marriage”.
He has also demanded that she declares “publicly the statements published in the book and cited press reports are untrue”.
The Strictly star was said to be refusing to pay the sum. This means that the case is now headed to court – with Timo’s lawyers demanding that she be jailed or fined £250,000 if she ever repeats the claims.
“Ms Mabuse is refusing to pay, and so the court now has to decide,” said Timo’s lawyer, Samy Hammad.
Motsi Mabuse threatened with jail over allegations
“All we just want her to do is to retract the untruths published about him, and to compensate him accordingly,” he continued.
“My client’s reputation has repeatedly been trashed.”
“You have to threaten a penalty saying if you do it again, this is what I want in terms of money, or in terms of the prison sentence.”
You have to threaten a penalty saying if you do it again, this is what I want in terms of money, or in terms of the prison sentence.
The lawsuit has been filed at a regional court in Germany. And, as a German citizen, Motsi must respond. If she or her lawyer do not appear, then a default judgement could go ahead without her.
Motsi Mabuse responds
However a representative for Motsi has now responded to the reports.
In a statement released to ED! a spokesperson for Motsi said: “No such written court order exists – it is categorically untrue that our client faces imprisonment with regards to her former husband’s civil lawsuit, or that a fine, which would only be payable if our client culpably violates a court order, would be more than a nominal amount. There is no legal basis for this lawsuit. To reiterate, our client reserves all rights in this matter.”
Motsi and Timo met at a dance competition in 2003. They divorced 11 years later, in 2014.
She wed her new partner, Evgenij Vozynuk, in 2017. The couple, who run a dance school in Frankfurt, also have a daughter together.

I’m A Celebrity star Barry McGuigan’s son Shane in hospital wearing cannula
I’m A Celebrity campmate Barry McGuigan’s son Shane revealed he’d been admitted to hospital last night (December 8) as the jungle series came to an end.
While Shane didn’t explain what was up, he posted a picture of himself wearing a cannula. He did write over the picture that it’s “one thing after another at the moment”.
Shane’s dad was one of the last contestants to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
He departed with compatriot Maura Higgins – who Shane once dated – prompting calls for people living in Ireland to be able to vote for their favourite campmates.
Barry McGuigan’s son Shane in hospital
Shane McGuigan’s Instagram Story doesn’t contain much detail, but he certainly appears – or appeared – to be in hospital.
Wearing a white T-shirt and a stern expression, he posted a picture of himself wearing a cannula.
A cannula is a small, flexible tube that goes into a vein, often on the arm, to deliver fluids or medications or gather blood samples.
Above him in the picture are a pouch of clear fluid, the corner of a blue curtain and a white tiled ceiling, all of which give the impression that he is in a hospital.
Over the image, he wrote: “It’s one thing after another at the moment”.
Shane works as a boxing trainer and owns a gym in southwest London. Barry introduced him to the sport when he was a teenager.
Shane McGuigan once dated Maura Higgins
In a twist to this year’s I’m A Celebrity, Barry McGuigan’s campmate Maura Higgins used to date his son, Shane.
They met before her stint on Love Island, while she was working as a ring girl. Ring girls are common in boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
They enter the ring between rounds, carrying a sign that shows the number of the upcoming round. Maura was a ring girl for Anthony Joshua, among others.
When she met Tommy Fury on Love Island, she said to him: “You’re a boxer – you know I’m a ring girl? I’ve only been doing it like two years. Joshua. His last two or three fights in London.”
When she dated Shane, she was living in Ireland while he was running his gym in London.
Now, Shane is engaged to singer Taylor West. They have two sons together, Finley George and Caelan James.

Danny Jones is announced as the winner of I’m A Celebrity 2024
Viewers of I’m A Celebrity have voted Danny Jones from McFly as the King of the Jungle. He has won I’m A Celebrity 2024.
Over 10 million people voted to crown Danny King after it came down to him and Coleen Rooney. Coleen was gracious in defeat and said she was just happy to have shared the journey with everyone.
Danny was in tears as he was crowned King and Sam Thompson was there to hand over the crown.
Coleen and Danny on I’m A Celebrity 2024
Danny and Coleen were interviewed before the winner was announced. Danny revealed how much harder it had been than he thought – even though former king of the jungle bandmate Dougie Poynter had warned him.
Coleen explained “everyone was their genuine selves” and that made them the closest campmates ever. She also added: “It was very emotional in there.”
Meanwhile, Danny apologised for his emotions and said he didn’t expect to be like that, but it had “been like therapy”. He also said: “What this jungle does is give you perspective on your life.”
Danny added “it would be incredible” to be voted King of the Jungle.
Coleen also said she had “learned that she can be patient” and that “it’s okay to think about yourself”.
Third placed contestant
Earlier in the evening Reverend Richard Coles finished in third place. Richard did not seem disappointed by the result – however some fans were.
“Third place? What a scam!” said one on social media. Another added: “Who the [bleep] has been voting for Coleen. Richard has been robbed.”
“Gutted for Richard Coles,” agreed one more.
What else happened in I’m A Celebrity tonight?
The final three had to take part in the final Bushtucker trial The Towers of Terror. Instead of doing a trial each to win starters, main course and desserts for their final feast, they had to work together across two trials.
In the first trial, all three of them were placed in position in the first tower, lying on their backs with Coleen in the top section, Danny in the middle and Richard at the bottom. They then had to guide the stars one by one down to one another to the very bottom of the tower, into the yellow win zone. And of course, they weren’t alone, as they were joined by snakes.
They successfully completed the first part of the trial before heading to the final stage. They had 10 minutes and were again tiered on different levels they had to get stars down to Danny at the bottom to finish a puzzle. This time they were joined by fish guts, spiders and cockroaches.
The celebs cheered as they won all the stars and were going to get their final feast.
The food
Each one of them got to pick their favourite meal, with Danny choosing mozzarella sticks and sweet chilli sauce, a buttermilk chicken burger and chips and fresh cream profiteroles with warm Nutella sauce. He also had a cold glass of beer for his drink.
Coleen had a starter of bruschetta, Spaghetti Bolognese with flaky parmesan cheese and garlic bread for her main course, and also went for fresh cream profiteroles with warm Nutella sauce for dessert. She had a glass of French pale Provence rose for her drink.
Richard went for a starter of king prawn cocktail with salad, followed by cottage pie with peas, carrots and gravy for his main course and fruit cake for dessert. He had Chablis Grand Cru for his drink.
