Strictly's professional dancer Graziano Di Prima tells Zara McDermott that he's strict in rehearsals. During the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing, he also mentioned, 'You're going to see a different sidae of me, and it's all in a positive way.'
Strictly's most senior boss' job is under threat following the huge scandal that's currently engulfing the hit BBC One ballroom show.
The new role will create a giant new unscripted division at BBC Studios which will oversee entertainment, music, factual and events. The ongoing chaos didn't appear to affect the show's stable of dancers on Monday as they posed for group photo during rehearsals The new job threats come as the BBC’s hit dance show has been engulfed with complaints of abuse and mistreatment of contestants by Strictly professionals.
The former Strictly pro took to social media to make a jibe at the seasoned television explorer after it emerged that he lodged a complaint with the BBC over professional dancer Ola's 'rude and impatient manner'.
The bullying claims have reemerged during a time of crisis for the show amid various abuse scandals and a misconduct probe - with insiders now saying that the series is 'fatally tarnished'. ‘The Strictly family couldn't have been more supporting and loving this past year and I truly hope to make you proud this year. Right year 8, let’s do this.’
Nadiya Bychkova, 34, risked an awkward run in with her ex Kai Widdrington, 28, as both of them attended rehearsals despite announcing theur split from each other last week. Strictly pro Janette Manrara broke her silence on Monday after Paralympian Will Bayley claimed she made him redo a jump that caused a lifelong injury - amid the latest drama for 'fatally tarnished' show
And Backshall is said to have complained his partner Ola Jordan, 41, who is no longer on the show, ‘bullied’ him when he competed in 2014. 'Janette has never received any complaints and has maintained friendships with all her partners, including Will.'A BBC spokesperson said: The BBC said: 'We have longstanding protocols for dealing with injuries if they occur and that includes contestants receiving all necessary treatment and support as required.'BBC Studios declined to comment.
A representative for Manrara told the BBC: 'Janette had a great time dancing with Will and one of her favourite moments on the show was doing their contemporary couples choice. A resurfaced clip aired during that year's live shows has shown the devastating moment Will was curled up on the floor in pain after the jump.
Will was forced to bow out early when he heard his leg 'crack' on his second attempt at jumping from a table in studio rehearsals - after Janette said his first was 'rubbish' 'To hear the words I"absolutely can't dance" is just really gutting for me but I need to recover now and come back even stronger next week.'
Speaking to The Sun, Bayley said: 'We practiced a few times and I was really careful. But then Janette said my jump was ‘rubbish’ and I needed to smile more and go for it and show a bit of passion.''I was lying on the floor thinking my whole career was over. I heard my leg crack, I couldn’t breathe,' he recounted.
Recalling the 'horrific pain' he experienced as he crashed to the ground, the gold medallist, admitted he thought 'his whole career was over' Appearing on the show as part of the audience, Bayley said : 'I am so gutted but it’s so good to be here to support everyone, they’re all smashing it tonight. After recovering from his injury Will won both individual and team silver at the rearranged 2020 Tokyo Games in 2021.
Next an unnamed female Strictly dancer was brought into the scandal after it was reported that they screamed in their male partner's face and berated him off-camera. After recovering from his injury Will won both individual and team silver at the rearranged 2020 Tokyo Games in 2021 In an interview with The Sun, Amanda said: 'I found Giovanni's behaviour unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean. I couldn't sit back and let him do that to other people.'
Zara also admitted that she would've chosen a different dance partner on Strictly than Graziano Di Prima in an unearthed interview. Answering questions together with Grazia, Zara and Graziano were asked: 'If you had to dance with another dancer/contestant for a week, who would you pick?'But Graziano refused to pick someone and said: 'See you later' as he got up to storm off, while Zara insisted: 'It's a game! It is a game.'Zara attempted to defend herself, saying she would have only chosen someone she thought was 'really nice'.
Steve Backshall complained to the BBC about his professional partner on Strictly Come Dancing Ola Jordan back in 2014 claiming she 'bullied' him. After he made the complaint the pair were assigned a chaperone to follow them around after he refused to be alone with the now 41-year-old Polish-born dancer.
