Richard Madeley weighs in on Strictly drama as he claims 'people have known about the issues for years and years' as the scandal deepens


Hosting Good Morning Britain alongside Charlotte Hawkins on Thursday, the presenter admitted that he wasn't surprised about the allegations.

James, who left Strictly in 2012 after appearing on eight series, also banned Georgina, who formerly starred on BBC medical drama Casualty, from eating sweets and chocolate and would only allow her to buy pineapple and ham when they visited a supermarket together. BBC executives sacked Graziano after members of production presented bosses with video of the pro dancer 'hitting and kicking' Love Island star Zara during training last Autumn. Zara herself admitted in her statement shared on Tuesday that she was too worried about coming forward to complain about Graziano's behaviour, in a sign that she too didn't want to tarnish the show's wholesome reputation as well as her own career prospects.
