After a few months out of the spotlight, he has been making his way back into the public eye lately, recently starring in Netflix film, A Paris Christmas Waltz, starring alongside Matthew Morrison, Jen Lilley, Jade Ewen and Paul Freeman. While his fellow Strictly professionals have not commented on the allegations, on Friday Vito publicly declared his support as he shared a snap of the pair catching up over coffee.

On his Instagram Story the Italian dancers were seen beaming at the camera, with Vito writing: 'amico mio ti voglio bene', which translates to 'my friend I love you'. Strictly's Vito Coppola publicly shared his love and support for Graziano Di Prima on Friday in an Instagram post five months after the dancer was sacked over abuse allegations.
Graziano fled the UK when the abuse scandal broke to his native Italy with his wife - who is a professional dancer on the Italian version of the series. Earlier this month, he returned for the first time since leaving, being spotted arriving for a dance class in London.
The former Strictly pro recently broke his silence following his sacking as he teased his return to the spotlight. Graziano took to social media to share he is raring to get back on the stage, posting a moody video of himself walking on a bridge at night time, before being joined by Giada.
