Zara McDermott speaks out on Graziano's Strictly scandal | This Morning
The Strictly Come Dancing dancer who quit the show amid allegations of 'gross misconduct' has admitted kicking his partner Zara McDermott.
A spokesman for Graziano Di Prima told the BBC the kicking had taken place following multiple reports, adding: "There is never a time when kicking, or any sense of it, is right."
"He knows he made a mistake. He apologized at the time," added spokesman Mark Borkowski. Borkowski said the Strictly training period can be "intense."
