BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe makes change in simple message to Montell Douglas after tearful appearance

Johannes Radebe made an obvious change as he returned to social media with a simply message to Montell Douglas after they spoke out on their Strictly Come Dancing exit for the first time.

As fans saw over the weekend, the pair faced the dreaded dance-off for a third time in a row. It came after they had, during the quarter-final which was also the show's Musicals Week special, delivered an emotion-packed rumba to I’m Here from The Color Purple, for which they scored 32 out of 40 points.

However, they were sadly defeated in the dance-off by former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec after they reprised their Argentine tango to Ex-Wives from Six The Musical, which had earlier landed them a near-top score of 38 out of 40.

Following their departure, they appeared on Monday's (December 2) episode of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two. Emotions ran high as Johannes praised his dance partner, saying: "She treated this whole experience like a 'true' pro.

"Montell absolutely surprised me in the most beautiful way, the way she tackled everything and every time I walked into rehearsals, I just thought this woman is not real - she is unreal and that's what I say, Strictly is very lucky to have her and I mean that."

Reflecting on her Strictly journey, Montell turned to Johannes and said: "Firstly the show has brought this amazing man into my life. The way things make you feel is better than what you do and that's the journey for me and I've had the best time. I've grown in myself and my confidence has skyrocketed and I've just enjoyed the experience."
