Strictly Come Dancing’s Vito Coppola has sent a supportive birthday message to his friend and former colleague Graziano Di Prima.
Di Prima, who joined the flagship BBC series as a professional dancer in 2018, was dropped from the show in August following allegations over his conduct during training with celebrity partner Zara McDermott. He said in a statement that he “deeply regrets” the events that led to his departure and that his “intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime”.
