Strictly’s John Whaite has spoken about his nerves when joining the show and how he thought he might “drop out” of the series.

Ahead of the Strictly Come Dancing final on Saturday evening, John, 32, and his dance partner Johannes Radebe, 34, spoke to Claudia Winkleman on Radio 2 about their feelings towards being in the show’s final, with both admitting how nervous they were when joining the series back in September. “So when you first arrived it was September, it was sunny outside, I’m just setting the scene, and you more than anyone, I think, if you don’t mind me saying, were the most nervous,” Claudia said. “Oh, I was,” John agreed. “I thought maybe I would drop out, I would get too nervous, I would get overcome with emotion.
