GRAZIANO Di Prima is back on our screens as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing 2019.

Here's everything you need to know about him.

Who is Graziano Di Prima?

The Sicilian-born professional dancer, 24, is an Italian Latin Champion.

He represented Belgium at the World Championships, and made the top 24 at the Latin World Championship Under 21s.

For the past three years, Graziano has toured the world with the dance company Burn The Floor, a “high-voltage theatrical dance experience”.

He is dating fellow dancer, Gianda Lini.

Graziano joins fellow newcomers South African (and two-time Professional South African Latin Champion) Johannes Radebe, and Russian-born (and four-time winner of the Italian Dance Championship) Luba Mushtuk on this year's Strictly.

When was Graziano Di Prima on Strictly Come Dancing?

Graziano was paired with radio DJ Vick Hope on the 2018 series.

They bowed out after five weeks on the show, losing in a dance-off to comedian Seann Walsh and his partner Katya Jones.

Before taking part in the show he said: “This is my dream come true!”

“I still can’t believe I will be one of the professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing. I can’t wait to give all of myself on the dance floor!”
