The 30-year-old Italian dancer expressed in a statement that he “deeply regrets” the circumstances surrounding his dismissal.
It follows rumors that Di Prima was fired from the primetime news broadcast on News One due to serious charges of misbehavior against a previous dancing partner.
“I deeply regret the events that led to my departure from Strictly,” he stated in an Instagram message. My great drive and will to succeed may have had an impact on my training schedule.
I realize that stepping away is best for the show and I respect the HR process.
Even if I am not yet able to talk about certain parts of this narrative that involve outside forces, I’m still determined to stand strong for my friends and family.
I hope everything goes well in the future for the Strictly family and the news. I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who has helped me in my career, both personally and professionally. I will tell my story when the moment is appropriate.
