[A third Strictly Come Dancing professional
has reportedly been named as a
'person of interest' in the wake of
abuse and bullying allegations
overshadowing the show.

Graziano Di Prima, 30, was axed from
the show last week over reports he verbally
and physically abused his
celebrity partner Zara McDermott, 27,
during last year's series.

It came just weeks after
Giovanni Pernice, 33,
was suspended while a BBC probe
is conducted over claims
of off-camera misconduct made
by Amanda Abbington, 50,
and two other former celeb partners.]

Meanwhile Amanda Abbington, 50,

through the series, citing personal reasons after
weeks of rumours about a feud with Giovanni]

no, wouldn't be surprised the 3rd pro turns out to be one who rhymes with Tendan Hole

The article is intimating there is a third professional dancer who is being investigated. Gio, Graziano and one more.

not Strictly turning into The Voice of Holland, in terms of so many sexual misconduct scandals

:facepalm: :idc:



sir Brucie is turning in his grave right now :bawling:

…apparently, going forward…’chaperones’ will be present at all rehearsals…

…it feels as though there has been quite a cruel/abusive ‘culture’ involved in the training that has been accepted, maybe…but with Amanda speaking up, it’s opened the way for others to do the same…I’m glad that the speaking out has happened and that its led to changes being implemented…

But No Name

for privacy reasons until they know more obviously


knowing how vile and immediately judgmental the social media world is



they will publish the name, when they have concrete enough evidence from their investigation

…yeah, what Nicky said, really…atm there is just a ‘person of interest’ and a name will be published if there is any evidence of any type to support that interest …the reason that Graziano was named is that there was videos to give to the police in their investigations….

One of the Ex Dancers
can leak the 3rd persons name

Eastern Europeans cant control their sex urges.

Graziano needs to be jailed and please let him stay there for the rest of his life


always knew there was something off about him



Gio being too strict, what is ''too strict'' for the weak british, good thing they aren't in the german version then with General Ekaterina Leonova :hehe: compared to Gio she is 10000% stricter

…the articles have said that the person is no longer on the show so I guess you can narrow it down a bit by that, Arista…?….one of the professionals who have previously left…anyway, they are investigating it all and questioning people the person of interest has trained…

I don’t understand, they record every training session, so if these things are happening, there will be documented evidence of it, why was nothing done before and why is it only coming out now?

…all I know is that there is video evidence with the training of Zara…I’m not sure with Amanda …but it’s obvious that if the ladies had to first speak up, those videos can’t be being viewed at all outside of the training rooms…it’s a huge lapse of duty of care and safeguarding of the celebrities…

out of former pro's

we can rule out Trent, since he still works for the show (behind the scenes, as a co-choreographer besides Jason Gilkison) and we can also rule out Aljaz since he is confirmed as returning for upcoming series (if there were some doubts which i doubt because he's a very smiley happy guy)



doubt its the likes of Tristan, Artem either, don't think its Pasha or Kevin either, its not legends like Matthew Cutler, Darren Bennett either which would otherwise shock me a whole lot



AJ might be a lot of things (fame hungry) but no can't see him having been disrespectful towards his celeb partners (who always spoke very highly of him anyway so and still do)



leaves us with the following names

- Brendan Cole
- James Jordan
- Gleb Savchenko

whom all 3 of them could be possible

Artem is a family man now with Nikki, and he is well respected also in the american version


same goes for Tristan, we really saw him blossom more in the american version, and he was a good partner for Jamelia, and his short lived spell with Jennifer Gibney



Pasha and Kevin always had great working relationships with their respective celeb partners honestly


why i easily rule them out



Brendan, James, Gleb are known for having broken the rules on the show multiple times with illegal lifts, easily throwing tantrums at bad criticism by judges, low scores by judges

…I don’t watch it but did the guy who was just in CBB leave…Nikita…?…is he still one of the professionals or….?…

…poor Fern had to have medical treatment in the house…/…poor abused Fern…

James Jordan would not get like that
only with Producers

Nicky


https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/07...1043266055.jpg

no, he's still in the pro line up, so we can rule him out


pro's under contract with Strictly are allowed to do other reality shows as long as its doable in off season, to combine with pro group number rehearsals


many have also done Celeb Masterchef tbh


because well none of the pro's here compete in championships unlike the lets dance pro's whom basically are busy all year long, from february to may lets dance, summer the european and world dance championships, october/november/december lets dance live tour



i guess the pro's here misbehave out of boredom perhaps :joker: and not competing in championships for a long time is bad for you

Yes he's still on it. Nikita is a sweetheart

It would explain why their dynamic with each other felt so strained.

GMBHD itv
recorded, Graziano & Zara
nice and happy,
Last Sept 2023 talking to their
entertainment reporter fella.

He thought that was before any bullying.

in all fairness, Graziano only gotten the no hoper contestants, but yeah no reason for him to physically assault Zara


don't think he would've been for much longer in the show anyway even if there wasn't this drama


he has been quite a flop results wise

There is also a video of him Spitting on her?

James jordan was an arrogant bullying prick on cbb as well.

what the hell? :nono:

just scrap it

…these stories really do seem to have opened up some quite awful stuff from the producers of the show with some very poor care/concern for the celebrities…Angela Rippon has now also said that she was asked to ‘play down’ an injury she suffered during the rehearsals…she was apparently told to not mention the cut on her leg so that it didn’t ’puncture an illusion and fantasy’ that the show projects…it all seems like a ‘floodgate’ that’s being opened of Strictly times that are very far removed from sequinned frocks and glittery heels etc…

yeah well, we could use a bit of lighter positive news rather than this pit of negativity

…it’s reported that Anton Du Beke’s name is now also one that has been given to legal representatives…

Vile bastard.

Strictly has in recent years had a lot of false positivity going around imo, where everything is all rosy, but expressed in a really OTT way that never felt genuine to me.

Stories like Graziano's might be explaining why the Show is behaving like that now.
