First up, the TV star will be at the Orchard West Theatre - the Orchard Theatre’s temporary home - in Dartford before returning to the county to visit Canterbury’s Marlowe Theatre in May.

Since joining Strictly Come Dancing as a professional in 2018, the South African-born performer has been partnered with the likes of comedian Ellie Taylor, actor Caroline Quentin and former tennis player Annabel Croft.

In 2021 he reached the final with the Great British Bake Off winner John Waite, making them the first male same-sex pairing on the show.

The couple finished as runners-up behind former EastEnders actor Rose Ayling-Ellis and her partner, Giovanni Pernice.

It was also announced earlier this week that the performer will make his musical theatre debut in the new touring production of Kinky Boots.

Johannes will star as drag queen Lola in the show, which comes to the Marlowe Theatre in June next year.

The new show, House of Jojo, is a follow-up to last year’s Freedom Unleashed tour.

The latest production features dancefloor anthems, exuberant costumes and phenomenal dance routines.

Johannes Radebe will be at the Orchard West Theatre on Wednesday, April 24 and the Marlowe Theatre on Tuesday, May 7 and Wednesday, May 8.
