Hopefully not jinxing this but the pros ought to be more Gorka. Gorka knew he wouldn’t get far with female Nikita and he appeared to make sure she had a good time.

 

[Elleyunsun]

What a mess, I hope Zara is ok. They will have to find a replacement soon because pro rehearsals start in under 2 weeks.

Kevin right now

This is Neil working behind the scenes to try to manipulate his way into getting a partner and winning. Next Carlos will be out for subjecting Angela S to that awful CCC choreography and Kai for regularly dislocating the Rippons hip.

 

[Libbylulu]

This could be the tip of the iceberg sadly

 

[BDY_97]

didn’t johannes help with the proposal too? i’m sure i’ve seen footage of that!

it will be interesting because they all cut ties with gio so fast (or have seemed to) but graz has a few quite close friends still there, which makes it a little different.

Yes it was during one of the tours back in 2019, burn the floor I think? He proposed live on stage.

From the DM article

‘Sources on the show say that Graziano's behaviour makes Amanda's claims that Giovanni bruised her toe during rehearsals seem 'miniscule.'’

Strictly's Zara McDermott has very generous plan to spoil family when show ends

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott, who was the first reality TV star to make it onto the dance competition cast, discusses the impact the show has had on her home life

www.mirror.co.uk

This article is from October last year after they'd been voted off, and she says she'd love to go and visit Graz's family in Sicily next year, to celebrate with them what a great teacher he is. Wasn't it also reported that she really wanted to do the Tour as well? I'm really shocked to hear that something untoward went on.

Is the external influence Sam? Things do seem to be a bit tense between them of late. Maybe Graz and Zara did the mattress mambo, let's face it, she has form.

I know Michael is often suggested as a possible replacement pro, and is an amazing dancer, but that definitely won’t happen whilst Jowita is one. They completely unfollowed each other and utterly ghosted when they split. It appears to have been pretty bitter.

I don't think he could be fired for that though, could he? Unless they were doing the deed in the training room?

I think the external influence is the producer(s) who reported his behaviour. Presumably he's suggesting an agenda. Having said that, the timing on Sam and Zara's row matches up - maybe he wanted her to complain?

 

[Applina89]

Oh God please don’t bring Kevin Clifton back

 

[posy]

I still think the external influence is just a result of the Gio investigation as wasn’t there an article saying the been had opened up a can of worms?

 

[Boogs]

Zara and Sam seem to be in crisis. I would have thought he would be standing by her side through this as he always seemed smitten with her. That’s what makes me think the inappropriate physical and verbal stuff was potentially romantic/sexual. bleeping shame on you Graz if you shagged her.

Initially I thought this when it was reported as ‘gross misconduct’ Sex at work must be frowned upon even at Elstree…

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

because why look at a man’s behaviour when you can blame a woman instead

First rule of misogyny: whatever a man does, a woman is to blame for it.

He always appears so devoted to.his wife.

I mean, shame on both of them if it is what happened, it takes two to tango and all that. Actually, I'd say Zara would come out of it worse if it is the case since she's cheated on Sam before.

But haven't loads of couples done that? The strictly curse and all that. Why would the producers care?

 

[BDY_97]

Them having an affair would have absolutely nothing to do with physical and mental abuse, can we please use our brains here. It doesn’t matter if Zara has cheated on her boyfriend 100 times before, Graziano clearly acted inappropriately towards her both physically and mentally. Can we stop assuming that she was partly to blame just because she cheated on someone 5 years ago?
