Strictly’s John Whaite kisses partner Johannes Radebe as they leave It Takes Two together

STRICTLY's John Whaite and pro partner Johannes Radebe shared a friendly kiss as they left It Takes Two last night.

Johannes was very dapper in a navy suit, matching hat and a multi-coloured neck tie.

John wore a grey suit with the jacket removed to reveal his chiselled arms in a black vest.

The duo smiled and looked back at the camera as they held each other for a fun snap.

Speaking to host Janette Manrara, John reflected on performing live on the dancefloor every Saturday night.

He explained: "You get the anxiety at first, then within seconds that's gone and before you know it you're in front of the judges.

"I've never been as happy in my life as I am in those 90 seconds…"

Catching himself, John quickly corrected: "Apart from when I'm with my boyfriend and stuff! But on the dancefloor… I just feel if I could bottle it up and sell [the feeling] it'd be an amazing thing."

The pair have built a strong friendship since they made history as the first male same sex couple on the hit dance show, and have been firm favourites among viewers at home.

John has included partner Paul in his Strictly journey.

The graphic designer has been making the duo packed lunches for their rehearsals and cheering them on in the studio every Saturday.
