Strictly Come Dancing hunk teases I’m A Celebrity stint as he’s ‘huge fan’ of ITV show

Strictly Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima has hinted at a future stint on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

The Italian dancer, 28, admitted he loves watching the show and suggested he’d like to swap the ballroom for bush-tucker trials – but only when the time is right.

Speaking to Daily Star, he said: “I think it can be an option at the future.

“It can be an option for sure, but obviously with my commitments to Strictly, tours, La Bamba!, I watch the show, I love it, it’s fun, but not that the moment but maybe in the future.”

It comes after I’m A Celeb… South Africa has kicked off with campmates including former Countdown star Carol Vorderman, soap stunner Helen Flanagan and former royal butler Paul Burrell.

The spin-off, shot last year in South Africa, has thrown past campmates back into the jungle for a chance to become the first I’m A Celebrity Legend.

Graziano has just been announced as a choreographer on La Bamba! – a new theatre musical based on the life of rock ‘n’ roll legend Ritchie Valens.

The show is heading to the West End and opening at London’s Peacock Theatre, Sadler’s Wells West End theatre between Tuesday 22 August until Saturday 2nd September.

On the show, he said: “I don’t think there is a level comparable of excitement that I’ve got for La Bamba!

“It’s the first time I think that a musical is gonna be something with a story of Ritchie Valens but it’s going to be portrayed with a Mexican family nowadays with technology, so you can see the show how the news goes around so quickly.

“The fact that Latin ballroom dancing is gonna be combined with singing is going to be the first time that it’s happening, it’s all so exciting.”

A preview of the musical, directed by Ray Roderick, read: “Inspired by the unbelievable life and legacy of Rock ‘n’ Roll legend, Ritchie Valens, and featuring some of the most iconic songs of all time, La Bamba! is a jaw-dropping new musical that mixes Latin, R & B and timeless rock and pop to tell the ultimate feel-good story of a young girl with a big voice, big dreams, and an even bigger heart.

“A story of passion and pride and the discovery that every journey starts with that first step.”

Graziano is doing choreography with fellow dancer Erica Da Silva, and former Strictly star Pasha Kovalev is playing Ricardo in the play, so he’s in good company.

Tickets for La Bamba! are on sale now and can be found here.
