Graziano’s unexpected exit came following claims the BBC would be looking into “wider” issues than Giovanni Pernice on Strictly, and just days after Aljaz Skorjanec’s return was announced.

And, according to The Sun, Graziano is leaving the country for a “fresh start” abroad.

Unnamed insiders are said to have told the tabloid that the married Italian performer is heading home.

Additionally, one anonymous source is quoted as saying: “Graziano is petrified and in a bad place.

This has killed his career dead and he knows it.

“He is being supported by his wife Giada and they are planning to pack up and move back to Italy. This has killed his career dead and he knows it.

“Going back to Italy for a new beginning is what is best for him and Giada.”

ED! has approached a representative for Graziano Di Prima for comment on The Sun’s story.
