Kristina Rihanoff has issued a four-word warning after controversy hit Strictly Come Dancing (Image: PA Archive/PA Images) Strictly Come Dancing 's Kristina Rihanoff has issued an ominous caution amid the swirling controversy surrounding the BBC 's flagship dance competition. The show, which is nearing its 20th-anniversary milestone, has been rocked by a series of allegations against dancer Graziano Di Prima and his reported treatment of celebrity partner Zara McDermott during rehearsals, not long after Giovanni Pernice left the show in the wake of allegations from his 2023 partner, Amanda Abbington. The ballroom drama has intensified as more stars and professional dancers have voiced their distress over the physical toll the show had taken on them.

Kristina, a former Strictly professional who graced the dance floor from 2008 to 2015, expressed her dismay to Closer UK, sympathising with Zara McDermott: "I'm shocked about what happened I feel so sorry for Zara. She should never have had that experience. Her dream has been shattered in a cloud of abuse.
