Cape Town – Comedian Marc Lottering and radio and TV star Pabi Moloi have been unveiled as the new hosts for the sixth season of Strictly Come Dancing.
The popular dance show, which pairs celebrities with professional ballroom dancers in a weekly live contest, is returning to South African TV screens on Wednesday, 10 July, making its debut on SABC3.
Wild-haired, Cape Town-born Marc is an instantly recognisable and renowned stand-up comedian who has written and produced 15 one-man hit shows for the stage.
Joburger Pabi Moloi is a television presenter, actress and radio DJ best known for hosting the M-Net (and later Mzansi Magic) magazine show All Access. After quitting 94.7 Highveld Stereo earlier this month she has been added to the star-studded line-up of new talk radio station Power FM.
Not only are the Strictly Come Dancing presenters brand new – so is the judging panel, which this seasons will be made up of Michael Wentink, Tebogo Kgobokoe and Samantha Peo.
