Who is Strictly star Oti Mabuse's secret sister Phemelo and is she also a dancer?
Stunningly beautiful and incredibly talented sisters Oti and Motsi Mabuse have made quite a name for themselves on the BBC show, Strictly Come Dancing – but they also have a third sister, Phemelo, who's an absolute brainbox

If you've ever watched Strictly Come Dancing, you'll know all about the Mabuse sisters.
Professional dancer Oti, 30, has led two of her celebrity partners to victory - comedian Bill Bailey in 2020 and actor Kelvin Fletcher the year before - while her older sister Motsi, 40, is on the judging panel having replaced Darcey Bussell.
Whilst both siblings are household names in the UK, many wrongfully assume that there are only two sisters in the Mabuse family.

Who is Phemelo Mabuse and where is she from?
Phemelo Mabuse is the middle sister of Oti and Motsi Mabuse, and all three sibling were born and raised in South Africa.
The sisters rarely post pictures of all three of them together, but when they do, fans can’t believe how alike they all look.
Oti remarked once that they all have the “same nose” but one fan wrote they also have the “same lips”, before adding: “Who is who?
She also runs a dance school in Kronberg in between her TV commitments.

Oti told the Jonathan Ross show last year: “To be honest, we have another sister, middle sister, she was the better dancer.
A very busy woman!
What else do we know about the Mabuse family?
As well as her role as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, Motsi was a much-loved professional on the German version of the show.
The sisters became interested in dancing when their family moved to Pretoria and are quite frankly unstoppable when it comes to their moves.
Oti first caught the public’s attention when she joined the hit dancing show in 2015, soon becoming a fan favourite and scooping up two glitterball trophies by 2020.
Motsi burst into the British scene in 2019 when she replaced veteran Strictly judge, former professional ballerina Darcey.
She was an instant hit with her warmth and humour and her uncanny resemblance to her younger sister.
Motsi is actually based in Germany, where her dancing and judging career began.
The engineer also teaches dance in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
They were wed for 11 years and divorced in 2014.
Motsi is now married to a different dance partner, Ukrainian-born Evgenij Voznyuk.
They tied the knot in Mallorca in 2017 and had a little girl the following year. Motsi was studying law at the University of Pretoria and set to join the family law firm before swapping her legal studies for dance.
Similarly, Oti was shaping up for a much more academic career before dance took over.
She studied civil engineering for four years because she “liked maths and science”.
Their mother was very keen on the girls getting a stellar education so really pushed them to excel at school - but Oti said that she missed dancing too much once she started work.
She then made her way to Germany where she met her husband, started professional dancing and was seen by Strictly bosses, who brought her to the UK.
Oti’s husband is a Romanian dancer called Marius Lepure, who like Oti, specialises in Latin and ballroom.
