A spokesperson for former Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima says the dancer apologised at the time following an incident with his 2023 partner Zara McDermott, but reports in the past few days have 'provoked a pile-on that has left a young man in a very vulnerable state'.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima did kick his celebrity partner Zara McDermott once during rehearsals last year, his spokesperson has said. It was announced earlier this month that the professional dancer had left the hit BBC show following reports of video footage brought to the attention of the broadcaster.
On Tuesday, McDermott shared a statement saying she had 'wrestled with the fear' of speaking out and that footage from the rehearsal room had been 'incredibly distressing' to watch back. Strictly Come Dancing has been mired in controversy following complaints about Di Prima and fellow dancer Giovanni Pernice.
