Annabel Croft has shared that she is "so happy" after her Strictly Come Dancing co-star shared an update. South African dancer Johannes Radebe shared a number of snaps to his Instagram account, with his 422,000 followers, sharing that he had been to Wimbledon.

The 37-year-old dancer shared a picture of a number of shopping bags with Ralph Lauren and Wimbledon on them. He was suited and booted in a double breasted blazer, with a striped shirt and a black and yellow striped tie.

A second image showed a Wimbledon afternoon tea menu, indictating that the Strictly star was spending time in the tennis competition's prestigious royal box. Another picture showed Johannes in a crowd as he had a notepad and pen in hand and a fourth and final image showed the Wimbledon 2024 flag.

Captioning the post, the dancer wrote: "Tennis has gained a fan." His co-star and former tennis player, Annabel, commented on the post in delight.

She wrote: "I'm so happy," followed by a tennis racquet, fire, heart-eyed emoji and a love heart. Other fans complimented the dancer's look.
