Graziano Di Prima, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional who was dismissed from the show, has reportedly enlisted top legal firm Whitestone Chambers to fight his case against the BBC.The 30 year old dancer is aiming to clear his name and believes he has a case for unfair dismissal.
Graziano was let go due to his behaviour towards his celebrity partner, Zara McDermott. An insider revealed: "Graziano feels he wasn't allowed a fair opportunity to give his side of the story so has been heartened to hear the legal team think he has a case for unfair dismissal.The top lawyers at Whitestone Chambers have scanned through thousands of messages between Graziano and Zara and the other Strictly dancers." Zara and Graziano's representatives, as well as the BBC, have been contacted for comment. "They've also looked at his BBC contract and believe there are grounds to sue.
He is weighing up his options but remains hopeful he can clear his name." The allegations against Graziano are considered the most significant scandal in Strictly's two-decade history.
Last month, he was dismissed after a video surfaced showing him "hitting and kicking" Zara. Further claims against Graziano were made public, including allegations that he chased Zara into a bathroom, spat at her, and verbally abused her during rehearsals last year.
