STRICTLY Come Dancing fans have noticed what they believe are signs of tension among the judging panel.

Viewers took to an online forum to discuss a recent episode, claiming Motsi Mabuse seemed unenthusiastic during a discussion about the Sambathon.

The dance-a-thon in question is a group competition that’s been known to cause problems on the show in the past.

One fan remarked: "Motsi didn’t exactly look thrilled when they were discussing the Sambathon.

"Perhaps she’s feeling nervous as she’s never judged one on Strictly, and they were just discussing the chaos last time."

Others suggested that Motsi’s mood seemed off throughout the episode.

One wrote: "I thought Motsi looked a little out-of-sorts and subdued this week in general to be honest."

Another added: "I actually thought the same about Motsi last week. She seemed generally hacked off during the judge’s chat in the results then, too."

There was also a specific moment that lead viewers to wonder if Motsi has an issue with fellow judge Anton Du Beke.

Someone commented: "There was one particular moment when Anton was rambling on — Motsi’s face painted a thousand words — her expression was saying, 'shut up.'"

Viewers previously noticed that Motsi was thrown during the Blackpool episode when Claudia bumped into her.

The judges and show hosts combined forces for a group dance.

But audience members were left wondering if they'd even practised the choreography when Claudia went the wrong way and slammed into Motsi.

One person joked: "Claudia messed up the simple choreography."
