Strictly pro Graziano Di Prima recalls Zara McDermott ‘kick’ in first interview since BBC firing

Strictly pro Graziano Di Prima has spoken out for the first time since Zara McDermott’s “false” allegations against him, which he says have “ruined” his life.

Di Prima was swiftly axed from the series after it was alleged that footage showed him kicking McDermott in the rehearsal room during last year’s series.

It was 20 minutes after the last message in the exchange that Di Prima learnt he was being let go by Strictly producers.
