Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe has spoken about the moment he was told to "go back to Africa" following his partnering in a same-sex couple on the hit BBC show. Speaking on Loose Men - a male spin-off of Loose Women for Mental Health Awareness Week - Johannes discussed his reservations when it comes to social media.
During the show on Thursday, May 12, which was hosted by Vernon Kay, Johannes discussed a plethora of topics alongside TV presenter Roman Kemp and rugby player Mike Tindall and the topic of whether social media has a negative effect on men was at the forefront of the group's minds.
Last year, Johannes was partnered with John Whaite in a historic first all-male coupling on the show. The pair, ultimately, went on to take second place. He said: “I had a glimpse of the reaction to [me and John] and as you know, there is good out there, which was nice to see but also, there was backlash and it wasn’t nice to hear things like, 'go back to Africa' because of who I am."
