Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse, 40, informed fans how her in-laws are coping with Russia’s attacks on Ukraine. Motsi’s husband, Evgenij Voznyuk, 35, is from Ukraine and his parents are currently in Kharkiv.

In a message to her 72,000 Twitter followers, Motsi reassured fans that she is in contact with Evgenij’s parents but explained the terrifying situation the city is facing.

She penned on Saturday morning: “They spent more than half the day yesterday in the bunkers!

“In Kharkiv, there are heavy battles so we can’t get to them!

“At the moment there is nothing we can do. We did try to get them earlier in Germany.”

Air strikes hit Kharkiv on Thursday and terrified residents have been fleeing to underground stations and bomb shelters in an attempt to find safety, according to reports from the New York Times and I News.

Motsi’s post sparked concern among her friends and followers and dozens took to the comments.

Astrid said: “Praying for your family, the beautiful city of Kharkiv, where I have had many happy times and all people of Ukraine.

“Can’t believe this is happening. Heartbreaking nightmare.”

Claudia echoed: “I really hope you can be united with your family soon and that this nightmare will be over! Until then, I hope your family is in a safe place!”

Donna penned: “Hope they remain safe until you can get them out. Such brave people, such a beautiful country. I can’t believe what I’m seeing on television. God bless them all.”

Motsi told fans on Thursday that her in-laws had been told to “go outside and switch off water and gas”.

The dancer also said they had tried to escape to Poland but there was “no possibility to get to the border”.
