Stirctly star Vito Coppola, has publicly expressed his unwavering support for his former colleague, Graziano Di Prima, following Di Prima's dismissal from the show. Earlier this evening, the two were seen enjoying a coffee together, with Coppola sharing a heartfelt message on social media: "Amico mio ti voglio bene," which translates to "My friend, I love you.".
The photo, posted on Di Prima's Instagram originally, had a lengthy caption from Di Prima himself. About his co-star, Di Prima penned: "How wonderful it was to hug you again, my friend! Our friendship is stronger than anything, remember you're a special person, with a big heart!! Love you and wish you all the best in everything you do.".
Di Prima was dismissed from Strictly Come Dancing earlier this year after he admitted that he to kicked his 2023 celebrity partner, Zara McDermott, during rehearsals. Di Prima expressed regret over the incident, attributing his actions to his intense passion and determination to win.
Despite the controversy, Coppola has maintained a strong friendship with Di Prima, emphasizing that their bond remains unshaken. This public display of support highlights the close relationship between the two dancers, who have known each other for years and share a common language and cultural background.
Di Prima enjoyed a glittering career on the BBC's long-running dance competition - featuring on the line-up from 2018. But earlier this year, the sparkle was washed off to uncover an abusive underside - as Graziano was forced to admit he had kicked his 2023 celebrity partner Zara McDermott while they were working together on Strictly in 2023 and he then dropped out of the show in shame.
