BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans say 'no one' as they make Johannes Radebe claim and demand 'protect him'

Strictly Come Dancing fans made the same claim about Johannes Radebe as he was seen strutting his stuff in a sensational routine with his fellow professional dancers.

The talented dancer was back in the ballroom over the weekend after he and his celebrity dance partner Montell Douglas made it through to week seven of the BBC One dance contest.

During the latest live show, which marked the first-ever 'Icons Week' in the programme's history, Olympian Montell and her professional dance partner Johannes scored 35 out of a possible 40 for their waltz to I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.

But despite the high score, judge Craig Revel Horwood said: "I wanted it softer and lighter, frame was in and out." The comment sparked uproar on the judging panel as Shirley Ballas gave him a ticking off for his negative comments.

There was then a shock for the pair on Sunday night (November 3) when Montell and Johannes found themselves in the dreaded dance-off for the first time alongside Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin.

Both couples had to reprise their icon-themed routines again, including Olympic hockey star Sam and her professional dance partner Nikita dancing an American smooth to Taylor Swift’s Love Story.

After reperforming their routines, all four judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke - all agreed unanimously to save Montell and Johannes, therefore making Sam and Nikita the sixth couple to exit the competition.

But all eyes were on Johannes for another reason as he led the latest pro dancer number mid-way through the results show. He channelled his inner Sasha Fierce as the protagonist in the routine to a dazzling Beyoncé medley which boasted bejewelled cowboy hats, power ballad moves and sparkling sass.

Strictly fans were quick to hail the routine and spotted the same thing. @veggiejonediary said: "No one does a heel better than Johannes #Strictly." @naomilevans commented: "Any dance that has Johannes in a heel will always bring such JOY #strictly." @MrsFinkelstein1 wrote: "#strictly I can barely stand upright in 4" heels, and here's @jojo_radebe absolutely burning up the floor in heels and sequinsProtect this man at all costs."
