Johannes wrote: “Back in 2015 we got to tour the world as roommates with this lad @kaiwidd dancing for @burnthefloorofficial.

“Fast forward to 2021 we’re reunited dancing on a show we’ve always aspired to be part of back then. @bbcstrictly.”

Johannes went on to emphasise how Kai has been supportive to him personally, as well as to the idea of same sex partners on Strictly.

The South African favourite continued: “Kai your kindness humbles me my dear friend.

“Thank you for being a true ally to my community and the idea of same sex partnership long before cameras and lights…

“Love runs deep, thank you for holding me up Boo and ladies he is single.”
