A routine that Whaite describes as 'intimate' and 'emotional', which, as he admits, reduced him to tears during their practice on Monday.
He told the show this evening: "I'm not ashamed to admit this, but when we danced it in rehearsals I actually cried.
"We've done all of these very masculine and powerful things which has been great, but to finally show a sensitive and emotonal side is beautiful."
BBC 2 viewers were left equally emotional and excited for this weekend's show.
Siobhan said: "With the amazing natural chemistry that John and Johannes have, their intimate Rumba is going to be iconi - I can't wait."
Ryan Glendenning added: "It's a Rumba for John and Johannes this could be the best dance in Strictly history.
"What a moment this is going to be. Two men doing close intimate dancing.
"It will be a lovely moment."
John and Johannes opened the Strictly Halloween special on Saturday night with a quickstep to Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising dressed as werewolves.
John came under scrutiny from the judges for his posture but the same-sex pairing safely made it through to the next round.
