Footage showing Graziano Di Prima's treatment of Zara McDermott on Strictly Come Dancing has "reduced people to tears", following claims of misconduct.The professional dancer confirmed on Saturday, 13 July, he had been axed from the BBC One show.
Graziano, 30, was partnered with ex-Love Island star Zara, 27, on Strictly 2023.The Italian star was confronted by BBC bosses this week and his contract was terminated, according to the Mail on Sunday, due to his treatment of Zara.
It has since been claimed Zara was not the individual who made the complaints against Graziano but a member of the production team.
Graziano is said to have "repeatedly kicked and hit" his celebrity dance partner while training for the show last year. New reports claim footage of the alleged incidents have made people "cry".
