FFS, really?!

She's a child and too young to understand but her mother should be ashamed to be carrying on like this supporting a man under investigation.

Ugh, this is just awful. Already had warnings?! Admits to anger management issues?! Well that's definitely the last shred of hope obliterated that it was something blown out of proportion because they wanted to show the investigation produced results, or that it was one lapse of judgement in an otherwise nice person. :(

It might not be entirely fair, but I don't trust any of the other pros now. They know him in real life, he can't have kept up the puppy persona around them all the time, especially as he behaved like that in front of witnesses/a camera. Not to excuse him, but I think it does speak to a culture of abuse across the whole industry - that multiple people knew and he thought he could get away with letting it be filmed. It's easy to see how it escalated as people kept turning a blind eye.

Also, again, possibly massively unfair, but I can't help but wonder about Sam Thompson now too. He's an overenthusiastic puppy personality as well, and it seems likely that someone else must treat/have treated Zara the same way for her to normalise it. Especially as she didn't just put up with it to get through her Strictly contract, she stayed friendly and supportive towards him months later, and seems she wasn't even going to make a complaint of her own accord. I hope she's not letting the trolls get her down and can heal from this.

Hmmm if you watch Sam’s behaviour on Celebrity SAS, you’d see another side.
His ADHD would make him a challenge as well ( I’m speaking as someone with a lot of experience of it)

This goes way beyond being unprofessional. It's completely inappropriate. It isn't "gossip" that multiple people have complained about the same person and legal action is being taken. The fact that she can speak like this and get away with it makes me think she has a very good contract with the show and knows they can't let her go.

He isn't even under investigation. It is done and he is fired because there was evidence against him.

I think the Gio one is still ongoing due to it be more "he said, she said".

Why on earth is her mother encouraging this? Stan culture and idolizing celebrities is bad enough as it is, but it definitely shouldn't be happening now. Plastering that on social media and opening your child up to backlash isn't okay. Also, the mum encouraging her to continue supporting Graz is indirectly telling her that it's okay for men to treat women that way. I can somewhat see an argument that this is probably all upsetting and difficult for the child to understand, but if she was taught about parasocial relationships and how to enjoy things in a healthy way from the start, a lot of the upset would be avoidable.

Don't see the appeal of this Pasquale fella. I'd spend the whole time putting on my glasses to stop confusing him with Vito or Gorka.

Do we really need another oldish white dude, especially now we also have Aljaz? A fresh, young face please!

From a BBC point of view he's less of a risk compared to some because he has a good track record which they can investigate ahead of time.

I personally think Pasquale easy on the eyes but the reason I root for him to join strictly is he has always come across as gregarious fun time sort of pro that knows how to balance training and making sure his celeb enjoys it.

Yes, this, he’s never had a complaint or any of his celebs fall out with him, he still seems to be pally with them all ( he’s doing classes with his Belgium DWTS celeb winner soon)

I don't think Vito is handsome.

The thing about Vito is the whole package, he’s extremely fit, funny and a sweet character. He’s not ‘conventionally’ handsome but he’s very attractive.
