STRICTLY’S John Whaite’s boyfriend Paul Atkins doesn’t follow his professional partner Johannes Radebe – unlike all of the other celeb’s partners.
It comes after the graphic designer appeared to look furious after his partner’s sexy dance with the south African dancer on Saturday night.
Paul – who leads a very private life out of the spot light – follows 2,014 accounts on Instagram, but Johannes isn’t one of them.
But then the likes of Giovanna Fletcher follows her husband Tom’s partner Amy Dowden and Adam Peaty’s girlfriend Eirianeed Munro is one of pro dancer Katya Jones’ followers.
Love Island star Maura Higgins also follows her pro dancer boyfriend Giovanni Pernice’s celeb partner EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis.
On Saturday night John and Johannes impressed judges with their own rendition of the Tango and managed to score an impressive 30 out of 40.
But when the pair spoke to host Claudia Winkleman after their performance, Paul Atkins appeared on camera looking furious.
The presenter praised Johannes for switching leads and went on to mention John’s long-term partner Paul.

Since the BBC show hit our screens in 2004, the dreaded “Strictly curse” has managed to break-up a number of relationships.
Victims of the curse include Stacey Dooley, Diane Buswell and Seann Walsh.
John and Paul have been together for over a decade and got engaged in 2017.
The GBBO star and Johannes made show history as part of the first all-male couple.
