Strictly's Graziano Di Prima 'to SUE BBC for unfair dismissal' and has 'already hired top lawyers' after he was sacked from show


Strictly Come Dancing could be thrown into more crisis as former professional dancer Graziano Di Prima is thought to be taking legal action against the broadcaster.

The Italian dancer, 30, was axed from the show in July over reports he verbally and physically abused his celebrity partner Zara McDermott during last year's series. A source said: 'Graziano feels he wasn't allowed a fair opportunity to give his side of the story so has been heartened to hear the legal team think he has a case for unfair dismissal.' He was previously paired with presenter Vick Hope, Loose Women star Judi Love and in 2022 and he reached the quarter-final with actor Kym Marsh.
