Johannes Radebe DENIES he is leaving Strictly Come Dancing and insists he's 'going nowhere' amid claims he had landed two new roles away from the show


The South African dancer, 37, who has become a fan-favourite since he joined the show in 2018, took to social media to squash speculation about his place on the hit dance show.

From January to July, Johannes is set to star in a leading role in the touring production of Kinky Boots The Musical, which is written by pop legend Cyndi Lauper. This year, it's hoped that he and Montell could reach the final, and despite landing in the dance-off last week, the pair were praised by viewers for their Afro-Caribbean-inspired Couples Choice earlier in the series, scoring 39 points out of 40. Meanwhile Anthony Kimble added: 'Our ambition is to do the book – and Jojo – justice by producing a bold, colorful and thoroughly entertaining film that leaves audiences of all ages with big smiles on their faces.'
