According to a source close to the couple, former Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott and her boyfriend Sam Thompson have been facing some difficulties in their relationship. With the recent drama surrounding Zara's time on the BBC series, their relationship has been put to the test. It was alleged that her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima, who she was paired with in the 2023 season, had physically assaulted her.
Zara spoke out about the incident, stating that it was not a one-time occurrence, while Graziano's representative issued an apology on his behalf. However, the media coverage and public commentary on the situation took a toll on both Zara and Graziano, with the dancer feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed. Amidst all this, it has been reported that Zara and Sam's relationship has also been strained.
Recently, the couple was spotted on a walk together, with Sam offering comfort by placing a hand on Zara's back. According to a source, the couple has been at a breaking point due to the overwhelming events of the past month. They revealed that Zara was scared of the public reaction and felt like she was at her breaking point before releasing a statement about the incident. The source also added that the couple has been through a lot and even considered ending their relationship at one point.
Zara's experience on Strictly has been tarnished, and she has received a lot of support, but it has taken a toll on her emotionally. However, despite everything, the couple is determined to give their relationship one more try. Zara has always dreamt of being on Strictly, and she has worked with the BBC on several documentaries in the past. She spoke candidly about her time on the show, praising the people behind the scenes but also mentioning that her experience in the rehearsal room was different.
The BBC has confirmed that Graziano will no longer be a part of the professional lineup for the upcoming season of Strictly, and they take any issues raised seriously and act swiftly. Zara has also thanked the BBC and BBC Studios for their support and everyone who has reached out to her.
