A matter of hours after Strictly bosses were told their professional dancer Graziano Di Prima was about to be sacked for apparently physically abusing partner Zara McDermott, they frantically started making panicked calls to find a replacement. Also joining the line-up is little-known television medic Dr Punam Krishan, who stars on the Corporation's daytime show Morning Live, and Montell Douglas, who is Fire on the BBC's reboot of Gladiators.
