John Whaite on his 'bitterness' after being let go from Lorraine
Strictly Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe has recently spoken out on John Whaite’s admittance of love and claimed they had a “beautiful experience” together.
Back in 2021, Johannes and John made history as the first same-sex male pairing on the show and wowed viewers with their chemistry and magical dances.
However, John recently admitted his partnership with Johannes nearly destroyed his 15-year relationship after he had “fallen in love” with the star.
Johannes has since spoken out about their close relationship and claimed they will be “friends for life”.
Speaking to The Times about his experience with John, Johannes admitted: “We have gone on to have such a beautiful experience together that it would be a shame if we were not friends after all that.

He went on: “What we agreed is that, regardless of what life throws at us, we will always keep [the friendship] going.
“‘We are friends for life,’ I always say to him. ‘I know where you live. You cannot get rid of me.’ I still speak to him.”
During John’s revelation, he admitted that despite the friendship still being intact, he had to cut down contact with Johannes out of respect for his partner Paul.
Also speaking to The Times, John explained: “I love him [Paul] to bits and I worship the ground he walks on.

Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals Tour is hitting the road once again in May 2024, with a star-studded line-up. Dianne Buswell, Graziano Di Prima, Gorka Marquez and Nancy Xu are just a few of the names hitting cities around the country, including London, Cardiff, Liverpool and Brighton to name just a few.
“But I have to be mindful that there’s more than my own desires to consider here and if it would be tricky for Paul for me to be in contact with Johannes, then it’s a sacrifice that I have to make.”
He added: “14 years in a solid relationship with a man who loves me unconditionally, a man who would move the earth to make me feel safe and I was p***ing all over it.
“I look at Paul and what he’s put up with over the years and how he’s nurtured me and stood by me, and who would throw that away? I couldn’t.”
