I mean, the BBC are at fault for creating and sustaining this culture where the celebs aren't protected and the dancers are under pressure, but he is thoroughly to blame for his actions. The BBC didn't force him to kick, hit, and spit at Zara.

In my heart I agree, but I would also love to see the dickheads on Facebook try to defend him after something really concrete comes out.

They will definitely try:
"OK but she did provoke him. We didn't see what came before the video clip."
"Yes it was bad but he was under so much personal stress."
"He apologised, why do you need to keep punishing him forever and ever?"
 
To lower the tone and go back to the most shaggable pro rating my two pence worth from being in unbelievably close proximity on the Blackpool audience. Needed to play that card one more time! Gorka’s derrière is indeed a thing of absolute beauty but I fully expected to be fawning over Vito. But no. The most beautiful, mesmerising man by a country mile was JoJo. He had that backless green sequinned outfit on and the definition of the man! So much presence. From the drag queens sat beside us to the grannies we were all smitten. And he smelt amazing!! Never seen someone have such an effect on people. And he knows it! Straight woman here the wrong side of 50!

“Di Prima, who allegedly ‘kicked and hit’ Ms McDermott, argues that he was not given any advice on how to deal with the pressure of competing in the show.”
You bleeping what??
Here’s some advice, Graziano: how about NOT hitting, kicking, yelling at or spitting at your partner. I know, amazing right? You can have that for free, you miserable scumbag.

Surely the dance world is full of competition and pressure outside of strictly? You'd think he'd be well used to it before he joined the show

We are not wasting that arse on the French!
We need to start a campaign for the government to slap a preservation order on it and declare it an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Idea for Strictly 20th anniversary celebrations: a bronze sculpture of Gorka's arse to be mounted on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. It could heal the nation

All solved they were rehearsing an Argentine Tango... 🤦🏻‍♀️. Considering production give them the themes too it's not like they wouldn't know and if production came up with such a theme on a family light entertainment show then they'd be in a lot more hot water. The powers that be really do need looking into as well though. All new producers and Shirley and Anton out the door. Shirley shouldn't be getting away with talking to the press and looking so smug about it, if one of the pros did that they'd be benched or sacked.

Jesus bleeping Christ. What is wrong with some people. So many shocking things about all of this but I just can't get my head around the extent some people will defend abusive behaviour
 
I do think the show puts an insane, fucked up amount of pressure on the pros to practically turn their celeb into a professional by week 4, but that's still obviously no excuse for going that far. I mean, the spitting is absolutely nuts. Hitting and kicking could be explained as being a bit too aggressive in correcting posture and footwork, but what the actual bleeping duck is up with the spitting incident?!
 
Who on earth is going to take that case on!! I know there are probably some dodgy lawyers in Sicily but even they would struggle with this one, there is video evidence, Zara was his 4th celeb, 5 years of experience on the show and tours, he is delusional and a complete and utter s**t. He might as well set fire to £20 notes which is mad because he is not going to be earning,I don’t think waiters get that much.
 
ffs they never even did an Argentine Tango! Insane to rush to defend someone while broadcasting that you don't even know what the duck you're talking about at all.

Obviously I hoped it wasn't true, that there was some other explanation when the story was first reported, but it's clear enough now. He's really not helping himself with these ridiculous statements. If he kept silent there could be some room for doubt that there's a big piece we're missing. What an idiot.

I'm not sure even the American one would want him now, and they chewed out a makeup artist for complaining when Maks threw a full can of coke at her head for taking too long to do his celeb's makeup.
