AXED Strictly star Graziano Di Prima is still cashing in from his time on the show – despite being sacked months ago.
The Italian dancer, who admitted he kicked his dance partner Zara McDermott during last year’s series, is still advertising himself as a ‘Strictly favourite’ on money making video messaging site Cameo.
Graziano is flogging personalised video messages to fans for a pricey $100 – around £78 – on the website.
He refers to himself as a ‘Professional dancer on Strictly’ in the bio section of his profile.
While the other section of his online profile bio refers to him as a ‘true icon of the ballroom’ and ‘everyone’s favourite Strictly pro’.
His profile is still active and he gives fans wanting to purchase a video message from him the option to pay an extra fee to have their finished video within 24hrs – so he has obviously still been on his profile since he was sacked more than three weeks ago.
Graziano currently offers fans the chance to purchase either a birthday greeting, advice/tips to budding dancers and pep talks.
It mentions that he will also ‘shimmy’ and ‘flick his hair’ on the £78 videos.
The dancer also gives fans the option to be ‘roasted’ by him for the £78 fee.
During the 47 second clips, the dancer will ‘insult’ fans.
He will also let fans drop him a personal message – but for a $20 fee, roughly £15.
It comes after Graziano has called in top lawyers to sue the BBC — and to try to clear his name.
He has recruited big hitters Whitestone Chambers to fight his corner.
A source lsaid: “Graziano feels he wasn’t allowed a fair opportunity to give his side of the story so has been heartened to hear the legal team think he has a case for unfair dismissal.
“The top lawyers at Whitestone Chambers have scanned through thousands of messages between Graziano and Zara and the other Strictly dancers.
“They’ve also looked at his BBC contract and believe there are grounds to sue.
“He is weighing up his options but remains hopeful he can clear his name.”
The claims against Graziano are the biggest scandal to rock Strictly in its 20-year history.
Last month, The Sun on Sunday told how he was sacked after a video of him “hitting and kicking” Zara was shown to bosses.
We went on to detail further allegations against the star — who is said to have chased Zara into a bathroom, spat at her, and verbally abused her in rehearsals last year.
BBC documentary-maker Zara, who is in a relationship with I’m A Celeb winner Sam Thompson, said the scenes were “incredibly distressing”.
Married Graziano responded in a statement to his 251,000 followers on Instagram, saying he “deeply regrets the actions” that led to his departure.
But just weeks later, he denied kicking Zara.
He also told how he and his “good friend” Zara messaged about her pet cat four days before he was sacked.
He is now back in his native Sicily, working on a farm for £6 an hour.
Strictly is set to return next month but Graziano’s spot is yet to be filled.
