Kuli Roberts competed in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’

In 2013 she was one of the competitors in the sixth season of SABC3 reality competition ‘Strictly Come Dancing‘.

Roberts and professional dance partner Sylvester Sefotlhelo were the second couple to be eliminated that year after failing to impress the judges following a dreaded dance-off against TV presenter Graeme Richards and Lindsey Muckle.

Roberts and Sefotlhelo had survived a dance-off the previous week against kwaito singer L’vovo Derrango and partner Mary Martins.

The judges that season were Samantha Peo, Tebogo Kgobokoe and Michael Wentick, while Marc Lottering and Pabi Moloi were the show’s hosts.

Zakeeya Patel and Ryan Hammond emerged as the overall winners that season.
