Over the last seven years, Strictly Come Dancing <\/a>enthusiasts have watched professional dancer Johannes Radebe grace the ballroom alongside various celebrity partners.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he partnered with actress Alex Kingston during the latest series, with the duo advancing impressively through the competition.<\/p>\n

Despite not securing the coveted Glitterball trophy on the BBC <\/a>programme in 2025, Johannes may well have another opportunity this year, having recently spoken about his continued involvement with the show.<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old is currently performing as Lola in the stage production of Kinky Boots. As ITV<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n

Lorraine observed that whilst the musical toured last year, there’s something particularly ‘magical’ about its West End run this year, reports Wales Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Johannes explained: “We did not think that this would’ve been possible because it’s been many years in the making.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

During their conversation, however, Lorraine found herself captivated by Johannes’ striking red acrylic nails, which she described as “utterly fabulous”<\/p>\n

Lorraine enquired: “Do you always have that? Or is it just for Lola?” He responded: “It’s just for Lola!”<\/p>\n

Additionally, Lorraine highlighted that Johannes would be participating in a charity Gala performance supporting WaterAid, a cause particularly meaningful to him.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Lorraine is available to watch weekdays on ITV from 9:30am.<\/strong><\/p>\n
