Strictly fan-favourite Johannes Radebe has reassured fans he’s not leaving the show following claims he will quit.
Johannes joined the show in 2018, finishing as runner-up alongside John Whaite back in 2021. This year, he’s partnered with Gladiators star Montell Douglas.
However, reports claimed this week that this year could be his last, with Johannes tipped to walk away from the show at the end of the current series.
Now, he’s issued a statement on Instagram and vowed he’s “not going nowhere”.
Strictly news: Johannes Radebe speaks out on ‘quit’ rumours
Reports suggested that Johannes was “overwhelmed with work” outside of the BBC ballroom thanks to his popularity on the show.
Next year, from January to July, he’ll take the lead in the nationwide tour of the musical Kinky Boots. The tour will see him perform more than 200 shows in 25 different cities across the UK and Ireland.
As well as that, he is also turning his autobiography, Jojo: Finally Home, into a movie. And, according to The Sun, a source alleged he would be too busy to fit in Strictly Come Dancing around these other commitments.
