Motsi replied to a few comments on the BBC’s official Instagram accountCredit: Getty The judges awarded the happy pair a score of 38 out of 40, putting them at the top of the leader board.
The BBC later posted a clip of the pair’s sizzling dance on their official Instagram account.
They captioned the video: “This Paso Doble is straight up LIT! Amber and Nikita brought the fire tonight. Fierce and flawless!”
Fans flocked to praise the dancers routine and the post gained over 11 thousand likes.
However some viewers took the opportunity to criticise Strictly’s Motsi for her judging skills.
One poster wrote: “Can someone tell Motsi to hold the paddle up until the end of each vote. It’s series 23.”
Motsi joked: “You will survive, trust me.”
Another added: “She can’t even find the right paddle!.”
Motsi replied: “Relax !!! There are bigger problems in the world, paddle meltdown.”
Strictly fans previously slammed Motsi for her “uncomfortable” comments towards one show star and his partner during an earlier show.
They called out the judge’s bold response following the programme’s sexiest ever Rumba from Karen Hauer, 43, and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, 37.
Strictly stalwart Motsi didn’t hold back in analysing their “chemistry” and fizzed as she branded it “hot.”
Yet with both Harry being married to Lauren Cooper and Karen having a long-term partner, some fans suspected their was awkwardness from the competitors as well as the crowd.
Viewers have also noticed a change in Motsi and she has finally revealed the truth about her slim new look on the show.
Meanwhile, Amber also commentated on the BBC clip and wrote: “I can’t believe I danced a Paso on my favourite TV show ever. What is life
The former Love Island star is also known for starring in various musicals such as 9 to 5, Back to the Future, The Great Gatsby and Pretty Woman.
She recently addressed the backlash she received after signing up for Strictly despite her West End experience.
However, her closeness on the dance floor with Nikita then set tongues wagging when The Sun On Sunday published exclusive pictures of Nikita, 27, kissing her on the top of her head.
It came after the duo performed a steamy Argentine Tango on the show last weekend and almost locked lips, causing many viewers to take to social media questioning whether the infamous “Strictly curse” had struck again.
The show curse references couples who become close or even fall for each other during filming.
The most famous instance in 2018 involved comic Seann Walsh, who was in a relationship, and dance partner Katya Jones, who was married to fellow pro Neil Jones, being pictured snogging outside a pub.
But in our no holds barred exclusive interview with The Sun Amber has finally revealed what’s going on with ‘dreamy’ Nikita.
