Johannes and Montell on Strictly
Following some backlash from viewers over Johannes and Montell being in the dance-off, the pro dancer explained it was “really sad” to see Sam and Nikita leave.
He said: “When [the judges] saved us, we couldn’t celebrate in that moment because Montell was like, ‘Nikita and Sam.’
“I do believe Nikita and Sam came a long way this season. It was sad. It was really, really sad. But we are glad we’re still in the competition.”
