Graziano Di Prima penned a heartfelt update on Instagram. The former Strictly Come Dancing professional shared a rare post on Tuesday evening and showed his appreciation to "everyone who is there for me".

Graziano was sacked earlier this year following allegations of physical and verbal behaviour.

He returned to Italy from the UK and has stayed off social media.

Alongside a candid video of him dancing with his wife, Giada Lini, which also captured Graziano as a young performer. The couple danced to Andra Day's Rise Up, with the Italian-born pro admitting he's ready to return to dance again.

he began: "Dance has always been the center of my life, my greatest passion, the path I chose and dedicated years of study, sacrifice, and love to. After a period of reflection, I feel stronger than ever and eager to return to what I love most: dancing.

The future is a whole world of new open windows, ready to welcome new dreams and new challenges, and I’m excited to continue this journey with even more determination and inspiration.
