STRICTLY Come Dancing professional Graziano Di Prima had previously praised dance partner Zara McDermott, when the pair were interviewed during their time on the 2023 series. The pair were in the BBC show last year and made it to week six of the dancing competition, with their bond appearing to be solid at the time. In a resurfaced video interview, the pair appear to be perfectly happy with each other as Italian dancer Graziano praised Zara and called her a 'perfect student'.

Graziano talks about how far Zara has come with no dance background as he explains: "You cannot compare us with anybody else – she has never danced before...



this is her journey, she has just this chance to learn how to dance. I want to make it the most memorable and fun thing she will remember forever." Zara then chimed in as she added: "In the world of Strictly, anything can happen.

"You never know how long or short your journey is going to be. But all I know is that we are putting in all the hours, all the effort and we're doing our absolute best. And that's all I could possibly ask for.

" Graziano then praised his dance partner as he called her 'perfect', as he shared: "What more can you ask for, than a student like that? She's giving everything, a perfect answer, 10 out of 10." The interview has resurfaced following the news that Graziano was sacked for gross misconduct amid claims he hit, spat and kicked dance partner Zara. The BBC yesterday confirmed the Italian will not appear in the next series.
