BBC Strictly's Johannes Radebe issues response to fans on his wellbeing following concern

Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe has taken to social media to break his silence after fans voiced their concern about him not being his 'usual self'

Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe has quashed fans' fears after they expressed concerns for him.

The 37-year-old professional dancer is back on the dance floor this year, partnering up with Olympic sprinter, Montell Douglas. The duo has been dazzling everyone with their skillful performances, consistently securing admiration from judges and viewers alike.

Yet, there's been a wave of worry among his followers, as some feel Johannnes hasn't quite seemed his cheerful self.

On a fan site dedicated to Strictly Come Dancing, one viewer shared a screenshot of a comment that Johannes had replied to from a concenred fan: "For those who have been worried about JoJo, he has responded to someone who asked that question on last night's Instagram post."

The fan's comment read: "Hope you had fun Johannes! You haven't been your usual joyous gorgeous self lately (on Strictly). Many fans have been concerned about you lovely," reports Birmingham Live.

In response, Johannes sought to reassure his fan, simply stating: "I'm okay darling." He added: "Montel (sic) has been good to me and we're enjoying the dancing. Hope you're good."

Just last week, during the show's Movie Week, Johannes and Montell executed a Tango to 'One Night Only' from the renowned motion picture Dreamgirls.

The pair earned a score of 28 out of 40 points, successfully sailing through to the fourth week of competition, where they will perform the Viennese Waltz.

During her recent chat on Strictly It Takes Two, Montell shared insights into the toughest part of her dancing journey.

The celebrity admitted that mastering the art of dancing in heels has been quite the challenge. She explained: "It's really tricky because I'm just not used to it. You have to think about choreography, dance and perform, where literally I'm holding on with my toes! I'm used to trainers, I live in them for the whole of my life. It's just finding the balance on these size 10 boots."

Montell has been candid about her battles with the stiletto struggles, revealing the "pain" she endures with each performance.

In a conversation with The Mirror, she disclosed: "The hardest thing is not the routine - it's the shoes! It's doing it in a shoe that wants to break your foot. The shoe is designed to give you pain, which she does very well actually."

"Especially because I'm just not used to it. I'm living in high heels. It's like a night out where you have to keep your heels on all night. That's what it feels like."
