STRICTLY Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima looked loved up with his wife Giada Lini in Italy after being axed from the show.
The married couple were spotted on a walk in the sunshine ahead of Giada's return to the Italy's version of Strictly.
They shared a hug on the street in Rome dressed in shorts and light tops teamed with trainers.
At one point dancer Graz, 30, showed off his ripped torso when he pulled up his top in the scorching heat.
The Italian was sacked from Strictly after he admitted to kicking his dance partner Zara McDermott, 27, during rehearsals, the proof of which was captured on camera from the rehearsal footage.
His former co-star star Giovanni Pernice was also axed from the BBC dance competition after Amanda Abbington accused him of bullying.
Despite the summer of scandal, Strictly Come Dancing was the big winner at the National Television Awards in London last night.
The dance series - which marks its 20th anniversary this year - picked up the coveted Talent Show gong.
Claudia Winkleman, who presents Strictly alongside Tess Daly, didn't thank the professional dancers as the BBC show picked up the award last night.
Giovanni will now join Giada, 29, on the new season of Ballando con Le Stelle - Italy's Strictly spin-off.
Giovanni denied any wrong doing and the results of the investigation are due to be published within days.
Sherlock actress Abbington has been questioned a second time over "new evidence".
The news comes after another former Strictly pro, Aljaz Skorjanec, who is making a series comeback, addressed claims that he acted in an “aggressive manner.”
Having departed in 2022, fans are delighted to see the return of the Slovenian pro.
But over the weekend it was reported that his U turn has ruffled feathers, due to a ‘shocking’ altercation with a female professional co-star while performing on the Strictly tour.
Škorjanec who is married to Strictly spin-off It takes Two presenter, Janette Manrara, who was herself a professional on the show, has denied the allegations.
