Former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Contestant Zara McDermott Opens Up About Her Treatment On The Show By Fired Dancer Graziano Di Prima
Ex-Strictly contestant Zara McDermott has broken her silence on the firing of her former partner Graziano Di Prima, saying that watching videos back of her time on the show has been “incredibly distressing.”
Di Prima has left the lineup of the BBC stalwart this year after allegations of “gross misconduct” against one of his female celebrity partners, which was quickly revealed to be McDermott, a former Love Island contestant who has helmed a number of BBC documentaries. Di Prima has apologized and said he “deeply regrets the events.”
Posting on Instagram today, McDermott said: “I have wrestled with the fear of opening up – I was scared about public backlash, I was scared about my future, I was scared of victim shaming. But after a lot of conversations with those I love, I’ve gained the strength to face these fears, and when I was asked to speak to the BBC, I spoke candidly about my time on the show.”
