Samuel Johnson spills on romance rumours with Cassandra Thorburn
Samuel Johnson has revealed that Dancing With The Stars and the friendships he made on the show have changed his life for the better.
In a new interview with Who, the 41-year-old said that the dancing competition has “taken over” his life.
The Molly star announced his retirement from acting in 2016 to focus on his charity Love Your Sister. However, this year he agreed to participate on DWTS to raise funds for the non-profit organization.
“I can’t remember another time when I was so enthused about something,” said Johnson. “[DWTS] has taken over my life. I dived in willingly and it feels better than I could have hoped for. I’m loving it.”
Johnson also spoke of the chemistry he has with fellow contestant Cassandra Thorburn, whom he described as “gorgeous”.
“We’re as thick as thieves,” he said.
“We love a gossip. We constantly find things to giggle about. In another life, who knows what would have happened?”
He said he and the 47-year-old Thorburn are “great mates” who “flirt well”.
“When you’re feeling vulnerable, it’s nice if someone finds you attractive.”
While Johnson is still in the competition, Thorburn finished her run on the reality show last week. DWTS is Thorburn’s first TV appearance since her split with Karl Stefanovic in 2016.
