Vito Coppola has reunited with his former Strictly Come Dancing co-star Graziano Di Prima this week.
Graziano, 30, left the BBC show in July following allegations of gross misconduct. Graziano was accused of ‘kicking, hitting and spitting at’ Zara McDermott.
During an interview in August, he admitted to kicking the floor out of frustration during rehearsals with his celeb partner Zara. However, he said it was never his intention to kick her.
He denied the other allegations.

Now months on, Graziano has been pictured with one of his former co-stars – Vito.
The 2024 series recently ended with Vito, 32, reaching the final with his celebrity partner Sarah Hadland. Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell won the series.
Ahead of Christmas, Vito and Graziano met up for a hot drink. A photo shared to Vito’s Instagram story showed the pair holding up their drinks to cheers as they beamed for the camera.
Over the top of the image, Vito wrote: “Amico mio ti voglio bene,” which translates to “my friend I love you”.
This isn’t the first time Vito has shown support to Graziano. In November, Italian dancer Graziano opened up about dance and called it his “greatest passion”.
