Strictly star Graziano Di Prima is reportedly "in bits" over allegations about his behaviour. Read more here.

Graziano has issued a statement, saying he “deeply regrets the events that led to my departure from Strictly” and vowed to “share my story” when “the time is right”. The source added: “For the Beeb’s part, Graziano was not the only dancer being spoken to and they had absolutely no idea about the alleged kicking — which it is claimed happened twice — and as soon as they were alerted, they took decisive action and fired him.” “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.”
