Over the last seven years, Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts have watched professional dancer Johannes Radebe grace the ballroom alongside various celebrity partners.
Most recently, he partnered with actress Alex Kingston during the latest series, with the duo advancing impressively through the competition.
Despite not securing the coveted Glitterball trophy on the BBC programme in 2025, Johannes may well have another opportunity this year, having recently spoken about his continued involvement with the show.
But before the sparkle and spectacle of the upcoming Autumn series of Strictly, Johannes made an appearance on Monday’s Lorraine to update fans about his professional endeavours.

The 38-year-old is currently performing as Lola in the stage production of Kinky Boots. As ITV viewers watched a preview of the show, Lorraine remarked that he appeared completely in his element, prompting Johannes to respond: “Absolutely, I am living a dream.”
Lorraine observed that whilst the musical toured last year, there’s something particularly ‘magical’ about its West End run this year, reports Wales Online.
Johannes explained: “We did not think that this would’ve been possible because it’s been many years in the making.

“We’re just happy that there’s a revival of this beloved musical coming back to the West End; it’s loved by so many people, and we can’t wait to share the rebooted version of it.”
The Strictly star revealed that preview performances for the musical kick off tomorrow (March 3) in Leicester, before the full production launches on the 17th in London.
During their conversation, however, Lorraine found herself captivated by Johannes’ striking red acrylic nails, which she described as “utterly fabulous”
Lorraine enquired: “Do you always have that? Or is it just for Lola?” He responded: “It’s just for Lola!”

Additionally, Lorraine highlighted that Johannes would be participating in a charity Gala performance supporting WaterAid, a cause particularly meaningful to him.
He shared, “I think those people are doing incredible work. I got the opportunity to go back home to South Africa to see what they’re doing.
“When I tell you that one out of 10 people are still struggling with clean water, it was just an eye-opening experience because I was like, these kids’ lives have been changed because Water Aid has stepped in.”
Lorraine is available to watch weekdays on ITV from 9:30am.
