Tasha, 26, has just finished a 30-date tour having thrown herself into work after splitting from her Love Island boyfriend Andrew Le Page days before launch.
Reflecting on the end of Tasha's Strictly experience, Motsi told her on stage: "What I can tell you is that maybe you didn't win the glitterball, but we never know what happens in life.
"You stay positive, you stay as amazing as you are.
"Keep going, you're one in a million, you are treasure."

Tasha made it to the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2024, but was beaten by blind comedian Chris McCausland.
She signed up to do the Strictly tour alongside Jamie Borthwick and Shayne Ward, but her relationship hit the rocks over Christmas.
The Sun revealed Tasha, 26, and Andrew, 29, had split and she had signed up to celebrity dating profile Raya.
But those close to Andrew claimed he was completely unaware Tasha was already moving on and was blindsided by the move.

Tasha looked stunned to miss out on the award - having won it the most alongside Sarah Hadland.
Posting a message to fans on Instagram, Tasha said: "This chapter has come to an end, but they all say good things come to an end.
"What an absolute whirlwind it has been, I really am going to miss this but here’s to more dancing in the future because it doesn’t end here.
"@aljazskorjanec lifting that trophy up with you just finished off our journey in the best way, dancing with you everyday on tour has just been magical, fun & I’m going to miss not being in a ballroom frame moving across that floor with you. Thank you for everything.
