Johannes Radebe has shared one of his dreams for the future after cheekily warning one of his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars that he may be coming for his job.
The professional dancer will soon be seen back in the ballroom after his return for the BBC One dance contest's 2025 series was confirmed earlier this year.
Johannes will be joined for the upcoming run of the hit dance show by fellow pros Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Amy Dowden, Karen Hauer, Katya Jones, Kai Widdrington, Lauren Oakley and Neil Jones.
Also making up this year's pro line-up are Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, Aljaž Škorjanec, Michelle Tsiakkas, Nancy Xu, Carlos Gu and Vito Coppola.
It was also confirmed that two new professional dancers will be joining the show and the newcomers have since been revealed as So You Think You Can Dance champion Alexis Warr and Australia’s Dancing With The Stars' Julian Caillon.
But away from the popular dance contest, Johannes has big hopes. He recently shared his dreams of opening a dance academy in his native South Africa - where former Strictly pro Oti Mabuse, 34, also hails from.
Asked if he has any other life goals, the 38-year-old revealed: "To open a dance academy in South Africa. I want to get young boys into dance, and to see a new generation of Jojos and Otis moving around the streets.
"If I could, I would teach the whole world to dance. I would take you all for a spin."
Johannes also admitted the first time he felt proud about his career was when he joined Strictly - which he finds "liberating". He told Heat magazine: "It was the first time in my career that I gave myself a little tap to say, 'Well done.' Strictly has been liberating for me. I feel seen."
Johannes has considered becoming a Strictly judge - like Craig Revel Horwood, 60, Motsi Mabuse, 44, Shirley Ballas, 64, and Anton Du Beke, 59 - but he would miss teaching and dancing with celebrities.
He explained: "I'm not going to lie, I have thought about it. It would kill me to leave the magic of Strictly, and I will continue to dance so long as my bones hold me up!
