The news about the ongoing scandal surrounding Strictly Come Dancing has been making headlines lately, especially after allegations were made against Graziano Di Prima, who was paired with Zara McDermott during the show. Zara, who has remained silent about the matter, has finally spoken out as the scandal continues to unfold.
The shocking news of Graziano's departure from the show came just days after the 2024 pro line-up was announced by BBC One. The 30-year-old Italian dancer released a statement expressing his regret for his actions, which were brought to light following reports about his teaching methods and behavior with Love Island star Zara, 27.
This added to the turmoil that Strictly has been facing for months, as allegations made by Amanda Abbington against Giovanni Pernice have also come to light, leading to an investigation. Reports have claimed that Graziano was physically abusive towards Zara, and although the two often posted on social media together during their time on the show, Zara expressed her fear of "doing something wrong" and being reprimanded by her dance partner in their last post together.

Recently, it has been reported that Zara has deleted recent posts featuring Graziano from her Instagram feed, including one where she praised him as an "amazing partner" and mentioned being friends for life. However, their last post together, a prank video from rehearsals for the Halloween special, is still available on social media. In the video, Zara unknowingly walks into a dressing room where Graziano and fellow Strictly pro Kai Widdrington are waiting to scare her. Zara even joked about being summoned for doing something wrong after seeing missed calls from her dance partner.
In November, Zara shared a post with her Strictly co-stars, but Graziano was noticeably absent. She also no longer follows him on Instagram. However, Graziano has expressed his pride in Zara's progress on the show and their elimination in week six. Despite being dropped from the show, he has only good things to say about his time with Zara, calling her a real novice who put in a lot of hard work and had a great soul.
The scandal surrounding Graziano has also led to an investigation into Strictly, after similar allegations were made against Giovanni Pernice by Amanda Abbington and two other women. This has caused a lot of chaos for the BBC, especially as they are celebrating the show's 20th anniversary.
It has been reported that the investigation has expanded to look into other issues within the show, and Giovanni may just be a small part of the bigger picture. This has led to speculation that the show may be facing a downfall if these issues are not addressed properly. In light of these developments, Graziano was dropped from the show just weeks after the line-up was confirmed, with BBC citing their strict duty of care procedures and their commitment to taking any issues seriously and acting accordingly.
It has been a tumultuous time for Strictly Come Dancing, and the recent developments have only added to the chaos. It remains to be seen how the show will handle these issues and whether they will be able to recover from this scandal.
The recent scandal surrounding Strictly Come Dancing has been making headlines as allegations against Graziano Di Prima, a professional dancer on the show, have surfaced. His former dance partner, Zara McDermott, has finally spoken out about the situation, as the controversy continues to unfold.
Just a few days ago, it was announced that Graziano, who was part of the 2024 pro line-up for the show, had been dropped by the BBC One network. In a statement released by the dancer, he expressed deep regret for his actions, as reports emerged about his teaching methods and behavior towards Love Island star Zara, who is 27 years old.
Graziano's exit from the show has added to the turmoil that has been surrounding Strictly for quite some time now. Earlier this year, there were allegations made by Amanda Abbington against another pro dancer, Giovanni Pernice, which led to an investigation. It has also been reported that Graziano had physically assaulted and verbally abused Zara, despite their close relationship on social media. In fact, their most recent post together showed Zara admitting her fear of being scolded by her dance partner for making a mistake.

As more allegations against Graziano continue to surface, it has been reported that Zara has deleted recent posts that featured him from her Instagram feed. This includes a post where she called him an "amazing partner" and said that they were meant to be friends for life. However, their last post together, a prank video taken during rehearsals, is still available on social media. In the video, Zara walked into a dressing room and was startled by fellow Strictly pro Kai Widdrington, prompting her to joke about being in trouble with Graziano for doing something wrong.
In November, Zara shared a post with her Strictly co-stars, but Graziano was noticeably absent. It seems that she no longer follows him on Instagram, which could be a sign of the strained relationship between the two.
Zara and Graziano were eliminated from the show in week six, after their performance of a Charleston to "Jeepers Creepers" landed them in the bottom two. Despite their best efforts, they lost the dance-off to Waterloo Road's Adam Thomas and his partner Luba Mushtuk. Upon their elimination, Zara expressed her gratitude for the experience and thanked her partner and fellow contestants. Graziano, on the other hand, told Zara how proud he was of her and how much he had learned from her during their time together.
The controversy surrounding Graziano has also sparked an investigation into the show itself. This was initially prompted by allegations made by Amanda Abbington, who quit the show after five weeks. Giovanni Pernice, who was accused of misconduct by Amanda and two other women, stepped down from the show and has denied all accusations. However, the investigation has since widened to include other issues that have been raised, and it seems that the BBC is taking these matters seriously.
It has been a chaotic time for Strictly, especially as it celebrates its 20th anniversary. The show has always been known for its glitz and glamour, but these recent events have shed light on some darker aspects behind the scenes. Despite all the drama, the show must go on, and it remains to be seen how this scandal will affect the future of Strictly Come Dancing.
