Strictly has touched me in ways I never knew possible.I'm an Olympian and a Gladiator, but I have honestly struggled with confidence my whole life and being on the show, with the beautiful crew, the judges, the cast, has just been such an honour."Radebe said: "I am so proud of you (Montell), because you are a non-dancer.
