Johannes Radebe Commits to Strictly Amid Busy Schedule

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Johannes Radebe has publicly denied rumors that he plans to leave the popular BBC show due to a busy schedule in 2025. Radebe, who is set to star in 'Kinky Boots: The Musical' and work on a film about his life, reassured fans through social media posts that he intends to stay on the show as long as possible. Meanwhile, fellow dancer Amy Dowden, who recently returned to the series after cancer treatment, will not be returning for the rest of the season due to a health issue unrelated to her past conditions, and has been temporarily replaced by Lauren Oakley. Last week, contestants Sam Quek and Nikita Kuzmin were eliminated, while Pete Wicks and Jowitz Przystal managed to stay in the competition despite low scores. This week features performances including two Couple’s Choice dances by Przystal and Wicks, and Chris McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell.
