She was forced to isolate for two weeks following an urgent trip to Germany when her dance school was broken into, causing her to miss out on two weeks of Strictly Come Dancing filming.
And Motsi Mabuse was finally out of quarantine on Friday afternoon, as she made a rare public outing with her dancer husband Evgenij Voznyuk in London, ahead of her return to the judging panel on Saturday.
The former professional dancer, 39, wrapped up for the cold weather in a cosy grey teddy jacket and a pair of slouchy sweatpants, which she tucked into a pair of chestnut coloured Ugg boots.

Motsi also sported a black cable knit beanie hat, while appearing to go make-up free as she flaunted her radiant complexion.
The judge carried her essentials in a black padded Gucci bag, which was worn across her body with a gold chain strap.
Evgenij was also suitably dressed in a black jacket and jeans, which were tucked into a pair of black boots, while he added a splash of colour with a yellow beanie.

The couple, who have been married for three years and share a two-year-old daughter, have been sharing their dance classes online during the coronavirus pandemic.
In June, Motsi celebrated her third wedding anniversary, marking the special day by sharing wedding snaps with her fans on Instagram.
Celebrating the anniversary, Motsi shared a sweet video of herself in her wedding dress dancing down a tree-lined path, before adding more snaps from the big day, where her Strictly dancer sister Oti served as bridesmaid.
‘There is no remedy for love but to love more. Happy anniversary mr @evgenijvoznyuk!!!! Through thick and thin, you and me !!! ❤️❤️❤️,’ she captioned the post.

Since marrying Motsi and Evgenij have welcomed their daughter, whose name she has never publicly revealed.
Last year Motsi revealed she understands the Strictly curse after breaking off her 11-year marriage to be with her ‘best friend’ and dancing partner in 2014.
Motsi married her first love Timo Kulczak, 42, when she was just 22.
But over a decade later the couple called it quits when Motsi realised she wanted to be with her dance partner Evgenij, who she wed in 2017, as she told The Sun: ‘Three years later whoosh! And then I was married’.

Motsi is now back in the UK following her brief trip to Germany, where she runs the dance school, and resides with her family.
The South African dancer had rushed home to Germany after her dance school was ‘targeted’ and worked with police to ‘solve the crime’.
This forced her to take time away from Strictly, however pro dancer Anton Du Beke stepped in for two weeks to cover the role.
Current UK lockdown rules prohibit international travel except in ‘limited circumstances such as for work or for education’.
Guidelines say ‘people who live outside the UK but work in the UK and travel between their country of residence and the UK at least once a week’ do not have to isolate.
