The Jamaican singer - famous for his rendition of Elton John's Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - fought against anxiety as he strived for success in the music industry.

Following a year-long contract, he parted ways with the record company and has disappeared from the public eye.

He's now announced his biggest job in six years - singing on Johannes from Strictly’s stage tour.

Dalton wrote on Instagram: "So excited to finally be able to share a new project with you guys.

"We are heading out on tour baby.

"So good to be around amazing people. It makes such a difference.

Thank you to my amazing team. Johannes, love you.

"Ticket info in bio."

Johannes Radebe: House of JoJo kicks off on March 29, travelling across the UK.

Dance sensation Johannes and a host of eclectic characters appear in the brand-new theatrical celebration showcasing world class dance.  

Johannes earned his stripes on Strictly Come Dancing South Africa for two seasons, but in 2018 packed his bags for the UK and joined the UK series.

He made it to the final with Bake Off star John Whaite as the first ever all-male couple.
