Graziano, 30, has been axed by the BBC following claims of gross misconduct towards his former celebrity partner Zara, 27.

Strictly Come Dancing bosses reportedly received two complaints surrounding Graziano's behaviour towards Zara during training last year, but only issued warnings in response (pictured on show) Previously, his fans and famous friends had rallied behind him, including fellow Strictly stars Katya Jones , Susannah Constantine (pictured) and Catherine Tyldesley , who liked and commented on his Instagram post announcing his departure. It is the latest blow suffered by the BBC show, which is still watched by more than ten million people, as allegations against fellow Strictly star Giovanni Pernice are still being investigated.
