BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe 'exposes feud' with Anton Du Beke

Strictly Come Dancing viewers are abuzz with rumours of a tiff between pro-dancer Johannes Radebe and judge Anton Du Beke. During Saturday's (12 December) performance, Johannes, alongside his dance partner Montell Douglas, dazzled judges and spectators alike with their Viennese Waltz.

Garnering a stellar score of 33 out of 40 points and lauded by the primetime BBC show's panel, particularly Shirley Ballas, Johannes later admitted a personal goal he hoped to achieve concerning judge Anton. Following glowing feedback, Johannes revealed he was keen to prevent Anton from giving a standing demonstration.

Upon ascending to interview with Claudia Winkleman, Johannes was candid about his aspirations for the evening. Claudia threw in: "What I love about JoJo is that your main aim - and he doesn't know this - was not to get a demonstration from Anton." Confirming, Johannes quipped: "I said to Montell at the beginning of the week that the last thing I want to see is Anton standing up and reminding us of how to go into a hold for the thousandth time."

Although this may have seemed a big ask, Johannnes's wish was fulfilled as Anton merely commented the dance was his "favourite of the night." Social media users promptly reacted to this unexpected admission, sensing an undercurrent of discord, reports OK!

One user playfully chided on a platform: "JoJo roasting Anton." Another chimed in saying: "Good to know that Johannes has also had enough of Anton."

A third viewer commented: "Johannes kinda real as f*** for that we don't need an Anton demo every week." while another remarked: "JoJo calling Anton out."

But it wasn't just the direct call-outs that caught the attention of fans during the show; there was also a noticeable tension between Wynne Evans and his dance partner, Katya Jones. In a moment from Saturday night's episode that didn't go unnoticed, Katya appeared to decline a high-five from her celebrity partner, Wynne.

This perceived snub was followed by what viewers described as another 'awkward' interaction between the two, which left some feeling 'uncomfortable'.

The incident occurred as Wynne and Katya were standing with fellow contestants and host Claudia Winkleman. As Wynne reached to place his hand along Katya's waist, she quickly moved it away.

Following the circulation of these clips on social media, Katya and Wynne addressed the situation in an Instagram video.

In the video, Katya starts off by saying: "Hello everybody it's Wynne and Katya here. We just wanted to say we were just messing around in the Clauditorium on Saturday night and just want to say sorry."

She continued, "It was a silly joke," and then Wynne chimed in with: "Yes, sorry". The opera singer further clarified their actions in the caption of the post, writing: "Apologies for this tonight we were just messing around. We really are amazing friends. The high 5's is a running joke. Have a great evening @katyajones."
