In a dramatic turn of events, Strictly Come Dancing professionals Graziano Di Prima and Zara McDermott have been sensationally dropped from the show amid allegations of inappropriate behaviour during training.
The BBC is understood to be investigating claims that the pair made several 'mistakes' behind the scenes, leading to their abrupt removal from the upcoming series.
What Happened Behind the Scenes?
Sources close to the production revealed that tensions had been building during rehearsals, with concerns raised over the duo's conduct. While exact details remain under wraps, insiders suggest the decision was taken to 'protect the integrity of the show'.
Graziano, a fan favourite since joining in 2018, had been paired with Love Island star Zara McDermott for the new season. Their partnership was highly anticipated, but now their journey has been cut short before it even began.
BBC's Strictly Crisis
This isn't the first time Strictly has faced controversy. Last year, the show was rocked by similar allegations involving another professional dancer. The BBC has yet to release an official statement, but pressure is mounting for transparency.
Fans have taken to social media to express their shock, with many calling for clarity on what exactly transpired. One viewer tweeted: 'This is heartbreaking! Graziano is such a talent – what went wrong?'
What’s Next for Strictly?
With the new series just weeks away, producers are scrambling to find a replacement pairing. The scandal has cast a shadow over the launch, leaving many wondering if this will impact the show's reputation long-term.
Will the BBC address the rumours head-on, or will this remain another unsolved Strictly mystery? Stay tuned for updates.
