Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe is fast becoming everyone’s favourite professional – and if you saw Sunday night’s results show, you’ll understand why.
The dancer absolutely turned it out as he took centre stage in the latest group routine.
The show-stopping number was set around a
fashion show, but also took inspiration from New York’s drag ball scene, with Johannes snapping his custom-made ‘Pose’ fan and high-kicking his way down the runway in a pair of heels. A collective ‘Yaaasss’ could be heard across the Twittersphere as he slayed his way down the red carpetFucking YASS Johannes with the heels and fan - slay #Strictly, SLAY!— Mitten d'Amour (@MittenDAmour) October 20, 2019YESSSS JOHANNES 🔥🔥 #Strictlypic.twitter.com/gbFPmN5FmB— megan 🍍 (@megan____77) October 20, 2019Me watching Johannes slay strictly #Strictlypic.twitter.com/STrjTgQfJh— Clara Hayes (@_Clara_Hayes_) October 20, 2019And then viewers clocked his heels and everyone’s appreciation reached new heightsTHAT KICK FROM JOHANNES WHILE WEARING HEELS JUST ENDED MY EXISTENCE— L🖤 // joe & dianne // fan (@dancingfool17) October 20, 2019JOHANNES IN HEELS IS THE MOST ICONIC THING IVE WITNESSED THAT MAN IS MY FAVOURITE PERSON EVER GO ON— nat | fan (@busweIljoe) October 20, 2019Johannes dancing in heels is EVERYTHING #strictlypic.twitter.com/qtMqPnFgfY— jt🌙 (@jessicamaxton) October 20, 2019johannes radebe shutting down all middle aged men across and their toxic masculinity across the uk in 2 minutes. a true king 🙌pic.twitter.com/Ph0EbGXegO— chloe » fan (@katyasbuswell) October 20, 2019Then there was disbelief that it took producers a whole year to promote Johannes to the main pro line-upHonestly what a GUY, I am obviously still mourning the loss of Gorka from the main line-up but I cannot believe Johannes was on the subs bench last year— Rachel McGrath (@RachelMcGrath) October 21, 2019Spent all of last year watching Johannes SLAY on #ItTakesTwo, wondering why he hadn't been given a partner. SO happy to see I'm not the only #Strictly fan who thinks he's a breakout star of the show. #SCDhttps://t.co/yporxnaNU6pic.twitter.com/oRESkixAek— Sarah Doran (@sarahisnothere) October 20, 2019To think Johannes was a RESERVE last year 🤩 https://t.co/4rhTEgW5fB— Sharon Ross 🌹 (@fionualaross) October 20, 2019While some didn’t see the point of continuing with this year’s series, considering Johannes had already won itI think we can all agree that pro routine cemented Johannes' status as the true winner of Strictly 2019 #scd#strictly— Emma Bullimore (@EmmaBullimore) October 20, 2019Do we need to watch anyone other than Johannes anymore? #Strictlypic.twitter.com/DdPl6WW0VP— Carrie Fisher (@CarrieFisher2) October 20, 2019Why is #Strictly still on this weekend? I thought Johannes won last night. This is all very confusing.— Elliot Gonzalez (@elliot_gonzalez) October 21, 2019After joining the show ahead of the 2018 series, Johannes stepped up to receive his first celebrity partner earlier this year, dancing with Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley.
So far in the competition, the pair have stayed around the middle of the leaderboard for their routines together, with Saturday’s episode seeing them bag 28 points for their Tango set to Annie Lennox’s Little Bird.
This week, they will take on a Halloween-themed routine, as the show holds its annual spooktacular on Saturday, airing at 6.35pm on
BBC One. READ MORE...
