Johannes Radebe missed Strictly tour rehearsals due to to visa problem

ehearsals for the \'Strictly Come Dancing UK Arena Tour\' were thrown into chaos after professional dancer Johannes Radebe missed key sessions due to a visa issue.

Johannes joined the BBC ballroom TV show for the 2018 series and once the show wrapped he made a trip home to South Africa, however, a problem with his visa meant that he has been absent for many of the practice sessions ahead of the start of the tour, which kicks off in Birmingham on Friday (18.01.19).

Johannes only got back to Britain last Wednesday (09.01.19) which meant that extra rehearsals were scheduled for the weekend so he could catch up on the choreography.

Speaking to The Sun\'s TV Bizarre column, a source said: "The dancers on the show were furious as his failure to turn up on time put everything behind ... The fact some of them had to rearrange their social plans left them furious. Everyone has been moaning about how chaotic this year\'s rehearsals have felt and the dancers are laying all of the blame at Johannes\' door."

The tour features a host of celebrities from the most recent series taking to the ballroom, including glitterball trophy winner Stacey Dooley, Dr. Ranj Singh, Lauren Steadman, Joe Sugg, Graeme Swann, Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer.

And on Monday (14.01.19) \'Strictly\' professional Giovanni Pernice revealed he will be dancing with his celebrity partner, Steps singer Faye, and Pussycat Dolls star Ashley, whom he is dating after getting close to the blonde beauty behind the scenes on the last series.
