Montell, you’re a former Olympian and a Gladiator. Does that give you a headstart?
Montell Flexibility and mobility is where I’ll need work, as for so long I drilled the opposite, needing to be stiffer for power.

Are the other Gladiators cheering you on?
Montell I think they’re excited about me being “Montell” as I play a character, Fire, on Gladiators. I don’t respond to “Montell” half the time!
Have you enjoyed getting Strictly-fied?
Montell I love it. I’m really tall, so I was never confident enough to wear heels. When Johannes said he wanted an extra inch on my heel, I said, “Whatever Jojo says. Who needs ankles? Not me.”

What’s it like being partnered with Johannes?
Montell He is the absolute best. He left me a bouquet of flowers and a lovely note in my changing room after we finished the launch show.
Johannes You spend so much time with this person. The last thing they need is to be unsure about me.
