Strictly pro Graziano Di Prima's fiancee lands role on show ahead of wedding

He's already celebrating his first celebrity partner in three years, but Strictly pro Graziano Di Prima has been left even more thrilled after learning that his fiancee has landed a role with Dancing With The Stars in Italy.

Graziano is said to be "so proud" of his partner Giada Lini, though they will be forced to live separately for a few months as her appearance on the show in Italy clashes with his on Strictly Come Dancing.

The happy news comes ahead of the couple's wedding next year in July.

A source told The Mirror: "Graziano is so proud of Giadi. Even though it means they will be apart as he’s obviously in the UK for Strictly and she will be in Italy, he’s so happy of her for landing such a fantastic gig.

"With Graziano getting an amazing celebrity partner in Judi Love on Strictly this year and now this news for Giada, it feels like a real double celebration.

"They’re such a loved up couple and this is just the best news for the coupe ahead of getting married next July."

It comes after fans were delighted at the weekend to see Graziano paired with comedian and Loose Women star Judi Love.

Graziano, who was last coupled with Vick Hope in 2018, was clearly over the moon to be partnered with Judi as their first meeting was aired on Saturday's launch show.

And the love wasn't just one-way - Judi recalled the first moment she realised he would be her partner on Loose Women earlier today.

Speaking to the rest of the panelists via video link, she said: "Once I saw his little legs I was like oooh those legs look good to me!

"I was overwhelmed with joy he is so lovely and obviously he is so beautiful to look at there is so much depth to him!"

As Judi continued to shower him with praise, her pals jokingly asked whether she would get tangled up in the Strictly curse.

But Judi quipped: "Listen the only curse we are having is to dance with our heart and to enjoy our experience!"

*Strictly Come Dancing returns next Saturday at 7pm on BBC One
