Graziano Di Prima and his wife Giada have brushed off concerns about the infamous Strictly Come Dancing curse. The 30-year-old Sicilian dancer, who joined the hit BBC One show in 2018, says he and his wife believe that infidelity risks can happen in any workplace.

The couple, who tied the knot two years ago in a gorgeous Italian wedding, insist that it all comes down to trust, but that because they are both dancers who do the same job, they are 'professional'.

Sharing her thoughts with OK!, Giada said: "The 'curse' is in every job. It could happen in an office or a bar. I think the most important thing is trusting the person."

Graziano, who has previously been partnered with Zara McDermott, Kym Marsh and Judi Love on the hit dance contest, expressed: "We do the same job we are professional dancers."

He continued: "We respect each other and have principles, and we try to share everything we are going through in the season with each other. Giada is my best friend, she knows everything. When you don't want to do things in the wrong way, you never even think of it."

The couple also touched on their future plans, hinting at starting a family when the timing feels right. Graziano revealed: "We are both dancers, and I always say to my wife, when she feels ready I am always here to support her."

He concluded: "We have to find the right time in our lives to do it. Of course, we want a family in the future, absolutely."

Giada stated: "We both want a family. I think it's a little bit different with our work, especially for us ladies. We have to stop our careers and our bodies change. You have to be ready 100 per cent to dedicate all of yourself to this, and then hope you can come back."
