Johannes Radebe declared his love for John Whaite and for the 'beautiful impact' he makes on his life in a new Instagram post, revealing that his family is 'desperate' to meet him.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer, 34, took to the photo and video sharing platform on Thursday to pay tribute to his dance partner, 32.
The pair were gracious runners-up of this year's competition after Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice lifted the glitterball.
The South-African choreographer, who is now back in his native country to see in the New Year, told his followers he had finally got round to watching the final.
Alongside a snippet from their final dance, Johannes wrote: 'SOME PEOPLE ARRIVE AND MAKE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN BARELY REMEMBER WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE WITHOUT THEM.'
He then recalled the reaction that his family gave: 'I managed to watch the finale of strictly with my family and friends back home in South Africa, it was lit! [sic] @john_whaite they are desperate to meet you hun'. The pride reflected on their faces for everything we've accomplished is heart-warming. ❤️'.
The dancer continued: '@bbcstrictly delivers an awesome show every year but this season has been nothing short of revolutionary and to EVERYONE involved THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. [prayer emoji].
