Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima has shocked fans by announcing his departure from the popular dance competition show. In a statement posted on Instagram, the 30-year-old dancer expressed deep regret for the events that led to his decision to leave, citing his intense passion and determination to win as factors that may have affected his training regime.
A BBC spokesperson confirmed that Di Prima will not be part of the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing, stating that the network takes issues of duty of care seriously and will act swiftly when necessary. Di Prima first joined the show in 2018 and has since danced with celebrity partners like Vick Hope, Judi Love, Kym Marsh, and Zara McDermott.
Known for his impressive dance skills and international competition experience, Di Prima’s departure comes as a surprise to many fans of the show. While he did not disclose the specific reasons for his exit, he expressed his commitment to being strong for his family and friends and thanked his supporters for their continued encouragement.
This isn’t the first time Strictly Come Dancing has faced controversy surrounding its professional dancers. Just last month, Giovanni Pernice was also removed from the line-up following complaints about his teaching methods. Pernice denied any allegations of abusive or threatening behavior, but the show decided to part ways with him for the upcoming season.
As fans speculate about the future of Strictly Come Dancing without Di Prima and Pernice, the show’s producers are sure to be working hard to ensure the success of the upcoming series. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
