A former Strictly Come Dancing professional has been branded 'vile' and 'monstrous' after old footage resurfaced online. The clip of the professional and his celebrity contestant has sparked a heated conversation on social media, the Mirror reports.

Some critics have questioned Strictly's duty of care procedures over the years and have slammed BBC bosses for not protecting participants.

Italian dancer Graziano Di Prima was dropped from the 2024 line-up last week over abuse allegations, with his 2023 partner Zara McDermott issuing a statement on Tuesday morning about her time on the show.

Di Prima's exit follows Giovanni Pernice quitting the series amid a complaint from his 2023 partner Amanda Abbington.
