Johannes Radebe under fire on Strictly results show
Last night saw the first results show of the series take place.
Celebrity hairdresser Chris Appleton became the first star to be eliminated, after losing in the dance-off to Jamie Winstone.
However, it wasn’t just the result that got people talking – JoJo’s behaviour did too.
The star came under fire from people on social media for repeatedly calling people “darling”, something fans said was “annoying”.
They took to X to complain.
“Please @bbcstrictly #Strictly STOP Johannes constantly calling anyone and everyone ‘darling!’ It’s doing my head in,” one fan said.
‘It’s doing my head in’
“Johannes, please stop saying ‘my darling’,” another moaned.
“Can Johannes stop calling everyone “my darling” – a presenter he is not…,” a third wrote.
“How many times does johannes have to say darling!!!! Doing my head in!!!!” another complained.
“You can drop the annoying calling everyone (including the viewers) darling [bleep]…,” a fifth said.
Johannes Radebe slammed by Strictly fans…again
It’s not the first time viewers have complained about Johannes in his new role as show co-host.
Last week, fans took umbrage at the fact that he kept speaking during the applause as celebrities came up to the Claudiatorium.
“Can Johannes wait until they are upstairs and they’ve all stopped cheering before he starts talking?” one fan fumed.
“Johannes, stop talking when the couples are walking up the stairs – the crowd are cheering and clapping we cannot hear you!” another said.
“Why does Johannes keep talking when they’re coming up the stairs? There’s so much audience noise going on I can’t hear a word he says,” a third wrote.
However, things appeared to have improved this weekend, with many praising the star for waiting until the audience had stopped cheering before speaking.
“Now that’s better! JoJo waiting until couples are up before talking. Much better than last week,” one fan said. “At least they got the note about not cueing JoJo to talk while people are still cheering,” another said.
