Strictly's Johannes Radebe 'blubbering mess' as he issues emotional statement to Montell trucc

   

On Wednesday's instalment of Loose Women, the panellist spoke to Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe and Montell Douglas after they survived the latest dance-off.

Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe has opened up on the emotional week he's had following the latest results on the BBC show. On Sunday night, viewers saw the pro and his celeb partner Montell Douglas face the dance-off.

Despite earning an impressive score of 37 from the judges, the Olympic star found herself in the bottom two once again. Although this time she was head-to-head against Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas.

In the end, all four judges opted to save Montell and Johannes, earning them a spot in Musicals Week. However, while speaking about the results show during Wednesday's Loose Women, Johannes confessed it's not been easy.

He said: "I'm going to be honest, I have been a blubbering mess, for the past three dance-offs and this woman here has been like, 'It's not over!'"

Coleen Nolan questioned why he's been so emotional, asking: "What is that Johannes? Is that because as her trainer you somehow feel you've let her down?"

The Strictly star agreed, adding: "You've let her down, yeah. This is not my first rodeo I've never pushed somebody like I've pushed Montell. But it's not that, it's how she's pushed me as a trainer.


Johannes revealed that his dance partner is the one telling him to go again during rehearsals, not the other way around, admitting it's something that he'd never had before.

He added: "That is why, so I believe with every fibre in my being that I've got a champion in my hands. That is lovely."

Christine Lampard addressed Montell finding herself in the dreaded dance-off once again, questioning if it makes it easier to tackle now she's experienced it before.

Montell replied: "It does I think, It never gets easier. I don't think it's easier but I definitely think mindset for sure comes in straight away. He (Johannes) always jokes that I'm coaching him on the dance-off! I'm like, 'We've got this'.

Although Montell and Johannes survived another week in the competition, it marked the end of the road for Jamie and his dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas.

The duo, who earned a total of 32 for their routine, failed to impress the four judges and were sent home after performing their dance once again.

Speaking about his experience on the show, the soap star had nothing but praise as he said: "Strictly is magic. That is all I can say. Strictly is magic. Not just everyone who you see in front of the camera, these four here - the judges, but everyone who works on this show.

"I have such a good bond and relationship with and that's what made me want to do this show, it’s the people, not what I'm doing. I've had the best time. I could ramble on all day about this one [Michelle]. She's a new pro and she's absolutely been the most amazing teacher. We have laughed like you wouldn’t believe. I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone on the show, so thank you."

Echoing his comments, Michelle added: "I just want to say it goes without saying Jamie is an amazing dancer, and he's improved so much week by week. He's worked so hard to get to where he is.

"It's my first year with a partner and I've realised that it's so much more than just the dancing and the technique, it's the bonds and the friendships that you make. I waited two years for a partner and I wouldn't have had it any other way,"
