The BBC show announced plans to introduce chaperones during training, and the appointment of two new welfare producers, after Graziano Di Prima, 30, was axed over reports he verbally and physically abused his celebrity partner Zara McDermott. Jordan, who left Strictly in 2012 after appearing on eight series, also banned Ms Bouzova, 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. The video, which emerged just days after Graziano Di Prima was sacked for allegedly hitting and kicking his partner Zara McDermott, was shown on Strictly spin-off It Takes Two at the time with its then host Claudia Winkleman introducing it to viewers.
