STRICTLY Come Dancing professional Johannes Radebe has revealed some tension with one of the four judges on the BBC show.

After Strictly Come Dancing couple Johannes Radebe and partner Montell Douglas took to the floor for their Viennese Waltz, they seemed to win over the judges.

The pair's soft performance to to Nobody Gets Me by SZA earned them 33, putting them high up the score leaderboard.

Earning high praise across all four judges with notable comments from head judge Shirley Ballas, it appears one judge's comments weren't what South African dancer Johannes wanted to hear.

After the pair headed up to discuss their performance with Claudia Winkleman, Johannes revealed his mission in training his celebrity partner had been to stop Anton du Beke from standing up and 'demoing' to them.

Claudia pointed out: "What I love Jojo is your main aim - and he doesn't know this - was not to get a demonstration from Anton."

He joked: "I said this to Montel at the beginning of the week that the last thing I want to see is Anton standing up and reminding us of how to go into hold for the thousandth time."

Fans also noticed the tension, as one wrote on social media: "JoJo roasting Anton."

Another posted: "Good to know that Johannes has also had enough of Anton."

"johannes kinda real as f*** for that we don’t need an anton demo every week," shared a third.

Another added: "JoJo calling Anton out."

Fans raged that the couple were also seemingly undermarked and failed to receive any 9s or 10s for their dancing.

The moment comes as after last week's performance, fans worried Johannes wasn't enjoying this year's series.

Following last week’s episode, one fan wrote on social media to the dancer: “Hope you had fun Johannes! You haven’t been your usual joyous self lately (on Strictly). Many fans have been concerned about you lovely.”

Johannes replied to the comment as he reassured: “I’m okay darling, Montel has been good to me and we’re enjoying the dancing. Hope you’re good. X."
