GRAZIANO Di Prima Has Been Confirmed To Join The Strictly Come Dancing 2018 Line-Up.

It was revealed earlier this year that Graziano Di Prima is set to join the Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer line-up when the show returns for a news series later this year.....

The celebrities taking part in the ballroom competition are yet to be revealed but three new performers have been confirmed ahead of the 2018 instalment, which will see Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Shirley Ballas return to the judging panel.

Italian Latin Champion Graziano has been revealed alongside Professional South African Latin Champion Johannes Radebe and four-time winner of the Italian Dance Championship Luba Mushtuk.
But what has Graziano starred in before? And how old is the new Strictly star?

Here's everything you need to know so far about Strictly Come Dancing's Graziano Di Prima...

Sicilian-born Graziano Di Prima is an Italian Latin Champion, who has represented Belgium at the World Championships and made the top 24 at the Latin World Championships (under 21).

For the past three years he has toured the world with the dance company Burn The Floor.

Speaking about joining Strictly, Graziano 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!"

Graziano is just 24 years old, making him a similar age to his soon-to-be Strictly co-stars AJ Pritchard, who is 23, and Gorka Marquez, who is 27.

Graziano is currently dating his fellow Burn The Floor dancer, Gianda Lini.
The loved-up couple regularly post pictures of themselves together on their Instagram accounts.

As it's still a while off, a start date for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing is yet to be announced.

The show, hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, normally starts mid-September so it's likely this year will begin around a similar time.
