Fan favourite dropped from show
Strictly Come Dancing fans are in uproar after legendary star Graziano Di Prima was unceremoniously axed from this year's line-up. The Celeb Report revealed that Graziano, who has been a fan favourite on the show, was dropped following alleged 'physical incidents' with celeb partner Zara McDermott.
Speculations on replacement
With Graziano out of the picture, fans are now left wondering who will replace him on the show. Some have set their sights on former Strictly pro James Jordan, who competed on the show from 2006 to 2013, although James himself has shut down the speculation, citing age as a factor.
Controversy and departures
Graziano's departure comes in the wake of another exit from the show, Giovanni Pernice, who faced multiple complaints about his training style. Aljaz Ċ korjanec has been announced to return to the dancefloor in light of Giovanni's exit.
Statement from Graziano
After the news broke, Graziano posted an apology online, expressing regret for his behavior and announcing his step back from this year's series. He mentioned the intense passion for winning might have affected his training regime and wished the show and the BBC success in the future.
