Graziano Di Prima's treatment of Zara McDermott in secret Strictly footage 'reduced people to tears'


Footage of Graziano Di Prima and Zara McDermott training for Strictly Come Dancing has allegedly 'reduced people to tears' following claims of misconduct on Graziano's behalf

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. The BBC said in a statement: "We can confirm that Graziano Di Prima is no longer a part of the line-up of professional dancers for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. While we would never comment on individual cases, it is well-known that the BBC has established and robust duty of care procedures, and if issues are raised we will always take them seriously and act swiftly as appropriate."
