Strictly star Vito Coppola reunites with Graziano Di Prima months on from scandal

Vito Coppola has reunited with his ex Strictly Come Dancing co-star Graziano Di Prima this week.

Graziano, 30, left the BBC show in July following allegations of misconduct. Graziano is accused of ‘kicking, hitting and spitting’ on Zara McDermott.

In an interview in August, he admitted to kicking the floor out of frustration during a workout with celebrity partner Zara. However, he said he never intended to kick her.

He denied the other charges.
