Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Graziano Di Prima has been left “in a very vulnerable state”, his spokesman said, after allegations about his treatment of a past participant on the show.

The BBC announced on July 16 that they would introduce new welfare measures, including a chaperone who will be present “at all times” during rehearsals.
