Johannes Radebe Leaves Strictly for Kinky Boots Role
- Johannes Radebe will take on a leading role in Kinky Boots: The Musical, starting in January 2025.
- He is also working on a film adaptation of his life story from his memoir.
- His busy schedule has led to speculation about his departure from Strictly Come Dancing.
Johannes Radebe is reportedly preparing to leave Strictly Come Dancing at the season's end, focusing instead on two major projects in 2025. He will take on a leading role in Kinky Boots: The Musical for the first seven months of the year, performing over 200 shows across 25 cities in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, he is working on a movie based on his memoir, JoJo: Finally Home. This new venture will also see him take on the role of executive producer, indicating his deep involvement in the project. While Radebe is cherished by fans and has recently had a successful partnership with Montell Douglas, his packed schedule means he will miss the upcoming Strictly Live Tour. Sources indicate that there are no hard feelings regarding his departure, and show bosses may explore options to bring him back in the future as he balances personal projects.
