Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe has announced a brand new upcoming tour, which he says will include "talent from around the world".

Johannes, who was most recently paired with comedian Ellie Taylor on Strictly, was on The One Show to announce the exciting news and revealed that the tour will happen next year. It follows on from his 2022 debut solo tour Freedom and this year's Freedom Unleashed.

"I am going on tour again next year, in 2024. No rest for the wicked, you can't rest... It's just been incredible. The fact that we're coming back again next year and we've called it House of Jojo, that, for me, it's incredible," Johannes said.

"The past few years have been incredible, so I can't wait to do that again."

Johannes explained that he hasn't choreographed the tour just yet as more talent will be involved, with more artists and dancers telling their stories.

He said: "I've been afforded the opportunity to tell my story for the past two years. Now, I'm in a position to 'house' everybody's stories, if you know what I mean... It's not about me, me, me anymore! Let's include others with it."

Johannes specified that he wants to include talent from all around the world including South Africa, where he grew up, and is currently auditioning dancers from Italy in preparation for the new show.

He also credited Strictly for "giving us, as dancers, such an opportunity to tour".

"House of Jojo tells other people's stories. It will be different. This is something like I've never done before. I say that because I want it to be about other people," Johannes added.

In an Instagram post, he added: "I am thrilled to announce that I am back with a brand new UK tour for 2024 and the doors to the House of Jojo are now OPEN! You are all invited to my glamorous celebration and it's jam packed with dazzling costumes," Johannes wrote.

"Thank you for believing in me and I'm bursting with joy at the opportunity to tour again. Through dancing, singing and open hearts, let's make the world a happy place."
