Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe couldn't hold back his emotions as he delved into his personal battles on today's episode of BBC's Saturday Kitchen (August 24). The beloved dancer was a guest on the show, joining host Matt Tebbutt, chefs Hasan Semay and Georgina Hayden, and wine connoisseur Olly Smith. During the show, while enjoying a glass of orange wine, Olly couldn't help but gush over Johannes, exclaiming: "I think he might be the loveliest person we've ever had on the show," before directly complimenting him: "I just think you're amazing.
" However, it was in a more intimate part of the show that Johannes revealed his vulnerabilities to host Matt, who inquired about his upcoming role in the stage production of Kinky Boots, reports Birmingham Live . As they teamed up to cook a lamb dish, Matt broached the subject: "While we get on this, let's talk about Kinky Boots," he said. "Musical theatre debut, this is two years in the making, right?".
"Thank goodness for the opportunity," Johannes responded. "My producers bought the rights to the musical, the ones I have been working on my solo tour with, and they approached me a couple of years ago." Johannes recounted his initial discussions with the producers, saying: "I told them at the beginning what I would like to do.
And they said was there a musical you would love to do and I said Kinky Boots, you know there's nothing else out there for a tall strapping lad like me that's got a passion for heels and feath.
