Olympian Montell Douglas, a contestant on "Strictly Come Dancing," has lost a stone in weight and gone down two dress sizes due to the show's rigorous training. She praises her partner, Johannes Radebe, for helping her improve her dance skills and describes their friendship as supportive. Despite scoring 35 points, Douglas and Radebe had to perform again to avoid elimination. Douglas, known for her role as Fire in "Gladiators," says her sprinting background aids her stamina but that learning dance fluidity is challenging. She also notes that the show has impacted her personal life, leading to a split from her boyfriend and a closer bond with Radebe.
