Where did it all go wrong for Strictly's Graziano Di Prima and Zara? How McDermott attempted to make light of the dancer's insults while show bosses 'issued warnings' about his conduct


The pair hinted at many squabbles and disagreements in the rehearsal rooms, but these were turned into humorous TikTok videos.

In the wake of Giovanni Pernice's 'bullying' scandal, producers have stepped in and sacked Italian dancer Graziano for his conduct, with the professional admitting in a statement that he 'deeply regrets the events' that led to his exit. Days before the pair were eliminated from the show in week six, Zara playfully bickered with Graziano as she revealed the intense training schedule had taken its toll, leaving her suffering from extreme exhaustion and sleeping on the floor. It is the latest blow suffered by the BBC show, which is still watched by more than ten million people, as allegations against fellow Strictly star Giovanni Pernice are still being investigated.
