The 2024 series of Strictly has launched with much fanfare following an exciting launch show. In week one, the celebrities and professionals pair up to take on their first routines hoping to secure a good spot on the leaderboard.
While the judges will offer feedback and scores will be given, no one will face elimination during this inaugural week. However, tensions will rise in week two, when the first celebrity will face the music and exit the competition. Montell, famed as Gladiator Fire, is dancing with Johannes Radebe.
For their campaign opener aiming for the champions' trophy, the pair danced a Foxtrot to Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby by Dinah Washington. Ahead of their performance, host Claudia Winkleman complimented the glamorous "Mojo", a nickname for Montell and Johannes. Montell looked stunning in a lace and translucent dress, while Johannes was sharply dressed in a white shirt, cream waistcoat, and pin-s.
