Johannes Radebe left fans goosebumps as he performed during the Strictly Come Dancing opening at Blackpool Tower on Saturday evening.
The 36-year-old pro dazzled in a green sequined jumpsuit and coordinated his look with his co-star Luba Mushtuk, 34.
He paired the low-cut one-piece with tassel details with a pair of high heels.
Viewers at home were impressed by his “grim looks” as they branded John an icon.
One person wrote: “Ok, did anyone else get goosebumps when John came out from behind the curtain?!”

Another added: “John lived his best life at that opening dance and I loved every second of it.”
“Awesome opening dance tonight and Johannes looks great in that sparkly green jumpsuit,” a third fan added.
Johannes will be paired in the competition with celebrity contestant Annabel Croft, who embodied the Latin American party spirit with her Shakira-inspired samba last Saturday evening.
The former tennis player was not discouraged as she wowed the jury with her rapid performance on “Whenever Wherever” alongside her partner Johannws.
It was a huge change of tone for the 57-year-old star, who performed an elegant contemporary couple dance in an emotional tribute to her late husband Mel Coleman last week.
But Annabel unexpectedly rose to the challenge by strolling and shaking her way through the number.
Craig Revel Horwood impressed the judges, declaring: “You’ve finally given yourself permission to let off steam.”
Both Craig and Motsi Mabuse admitted they were worried about how Annabel would tackle the samba and were happily surprised by her performance.

Speaking to Claudia Winkleman after the performance, Annabel revealed how much fun she had training this week.
She joked about how she had no choice but to give it her all when dancing alongside Johannes, teasing: “Watching him, I thought I have to at least try to mirror him!”
And the public was also thrilled as they took to Twitter to congratulate the star.
One wrote: “I loved this samba from @AnnabelCroft and @jojo_radebe. Annabel is getting stronger. I think it was a brilliant routine.”
While another added: “Come on Annabel you go girl @Annabel_Croft it’s just great to see you dancing your insides @shakira She looks amazing.”
