The dancer talks about how he finally met a bully who tormented him about his dancing during his childhood and they hugged each other – after a ‘beautiful’ and cathartic conversation.
Pro dancer Johannes, who was part of Strictly’s first same-sex couple with John Whaite, grew up in South Africa and was bullied for his flamboyance and love of dance – revealing he had even pushed his head down a toilet.
But five weeks ago he returned to his homeland and met one of his biggest tormentors, now a father of two.
He told Radio 4’s Saturday Live show: ‘I didn’t have a childhood like other children where I could roam the streets without being bullied. It’s suffocating and has been that way for years.
“They hit me and said, ‘Are you a moth, are you a sissy?’ High school was especially horrible. I stopped going to the boys’ toilets because of the bullying the one day they stuck my head in the toilet bowl.
“I thought, ‘I’m never going to go there, so I’m going to go to the teacher’s bathroom.'”
He continued: “I met Malcolm, who was one of the bullies the other day when I went home, like five weeks ago.
‘By his side I felt sorry for him, because I realized that it was him, that it was his insecurities, that he was the one who had a problem, not me.

“And it was lovely to have a conversation about where we are in life now.”
When asked where Malcolm was, Johannes said: ‘Unfortunately unemployed, a situation that plagues my country. But what was interesting and beautiful was to see that he has also grown as a person.
“And it was honestly beautiful just to have a conversation with him. I told him “you were something else”, and he said “I know”.
‘The fact that he also acknowledged that. I remember us hugging each other and saying goodbye, and that was nice.”
When asked if Malcolm apologized, the dancer said: “He did. I think I needed to release him a long time ago so I could get on with my life, but for that to happen, I acknowledged it and just said, “You know this is where we are now, don’t you”.

‘I didn’t want to worry about it much. I was like “good for you, it was never me, I understand now, but good for you for seeing things differently now”.
‘He has two children. What does he pass on to those children, that is always my concern. You never know how they will turn out.”
When asked if the trip and meeting Malcolm was a cathartic experience that helped, he said, “It really was.”
