Former Strictly dancer Graziano Di Prima is reportedly “under medical supervision” following his departure from the show.
Graziano was axed from the hit BBC show earlier this month amid allegations that he kicked, spat at, and hit his 2023 celeb partner Zara McDermott during rehearsals.
Strictly star Graziano Di Prima under ‘medical supervision’
Earlier this month, it was reported that Graziano had allegedly kicked, spat at, and hit Zara behind-the-scenes of Strictly last year.
Zara kept her silence on the matter until this month, when she was interviewed by the BBC. The BBC recently announced that Graziano wouldn’t return to the show.
Now, the Italian dancer is back in Italy with his family – however they’re concerned over the dancer, according to new reports.
“Graziano is currently under medical supervision, with the stress of the situation causing significant concern for his family, who are monitoring him hourly. The unrelenting feeding frenzy over these accusations and his mental state leaves him at this time unable to defend himself,” his family members reportedly told The Mirror.
ED! has contacted Graziano’s reps for comment.
