BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Graziano Di Prima confirms UK dancing return - and it's 'very soon'

Axed Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima has revealed he'll soon be making a dancing return in the UK. The Italian star was due to return to the BBC One dance contest this year after being announced in the professional dancer line-up.

However, after the line-up was confirmed in June ahead of the 2024 series launch in September, it was confirmed by the BBC that Graziano would no longer be returning to the ballroom with the dancer saying he "deeply regretted" the events that led to his exit.

He's now taken to social media to advertise a dance class he'd be attending as a special guest alongside Dancing With The Stars champion Pasquale La Rocca in London next month.

Sharing the poster to his Instagram Story, the 30-year-old penned: "So grateful. Thank you @pasqualelarocca for the invite, I cannot wait to dance with you all." The class will be taking place on Sunday December 1 at London's The Du Boisson Dance Studios.

He seemingly later deleted the original post and reshared it alongside the Coldplay track Viva La Vida and wrote: "See you very soon," alongside a red love heart.

It come days after Graziano broke his months of social media silence to share a dramatic video in which he could be seen walking across a bridge at night while clips of his early dancing career as a youngster flashed across the screen. He was then seen dancing under the night sky with his wife Giada Lini, a professional dancer on Ballando con le Stelle, the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars.

Alongside the post, Graziano wrote: "Dance has always been the centre of my life, my greatest passion, the path I chose and dedicated years of study, sacrifice, and love to. After a period of reflection, I feel stronger than ever and eager to return to what I love most: dancing.

"The future is a whole world of new open windows, ready to welcome new dreams and new challenges, and I’m excited to continue this journey with even more determination and inspiration. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who is always there for me."

He added: "I’m thrilled to dance again with the same enthusiasm and dedication as always. See you soon, whether on stage or through new projects that I will be very excited to share with you."

Strictly star Vito Coppola was quick to show his support, writing in the comments section: "Friend of mine. This video has moved me... tears of joy that prove how much I love you. I miss you. One step at a time my friend... Always surround yourself with people who love you and who, in one way or another, contribute to enrich your life with love, joy, smiles and lots of happiness. I love you."
