Strictly’s Graziano hopes to waltz down the aisle...

-

Graziano said that he and Giada may start a family, saying: “We live together so it’s like we’re married. Marriage is important to both of us.

“We want to start our life as husband and wife and have our own family. We’ll see when.”

The Sicilian dancer, speaking to OK! magazine, said he was welcomed with open arms on Strictly this year, adding: “From the first moment I joined the show, the whole Strictly family helped me a lot.

“They told me to be comfortabl­e and be myself and not to worry.”

Graziano and Vick, 29, ended up in the bottom two with Seann and Katya.

Despite being hailed as the most improved dancer last week, Vick failed to impress on Saturday.

Her cha cha cha to More Than Friends by James Hype was branded a “disaster” by judge Craig Revel Horwood, while Shirley Ballas said it lacked technical skill.

Horwood chose to save Vick and Graziano, but Darcey Bussell and guest judge Alfonso Ribeiro sided with Seann and Katya.

With the panel split, head judge Ballas cast the deciding vote and saved the 32-year-old comedian.

Vick said: “I am absolutely gutted to leave this week, it’s just too soon.

“It feels like such a shame to go on a dance you know from the outset wasn’t going to be your strong one. I wanted to dance to my queen Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman dressed as Medusa next week.”

Strictly was Saturday’s most watched programme again with an audience share of 49 per cent.

A peak of 11 million tuned in to see Danny John-Jules and Amy Dowden go top with a series high of 37 out of 40 points.

Their energetic jive bagged them the first 10 of the series from Bussell. Horwood dubbed the flight-themed performanc­e one “for the final”.
