SINGLE Montell Douglas says she has no intention of finding a new man — and admits she struggles to think of herself as sexy.
But the 38-year-old, best known as Fire from the BBC Gladiators reboot, said pro partner Johannes Radebe has helped to bring out her confident side.

Team GB sprinter Montell said: “I don’t know if I have a sexy side — I am quite awkward in myself but I am bubbly and I like to have a good time.
“I love to joke around. I have great banter with Johannes so that is the sexy side if there was one there.”
Montell also said she battled with body confidence as she grew to 5ft 8ins with size eight feet — and never went out in a skirt until she was 18.
She said: “I just felt I wasn’t a girly girl. I was always in trousers, jeans, running around with all my friends.
“Now I wear all kinds of things. That is who I am.”
Montell split from her boyfriend nine months ago — but is not expecting the “Strictly curse” to turn into a blessing.
She said: “I am single and very much not mingling because I don’t have the time.
“There are so many things to think about with dancing.
“Johannes is the only man in my life and he ticks every box that I could want anyway.”
