Former Strictly Come Dancing professional has admitted that he “would love” to return to the show – despite being suspended by bosses earlier this year.
However, he claims that he is “upset” as he thinks that producers will not allow his return and the decision is “out of his hands”.
In a candid admission, the 34-yar-old Italian dancer told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “I would love to go back to Strictly because Strictly changed my life. It is a massive show, but I don’t think they’re going to have me back. They’re not.”
He added: “I’m upset as well. It’s been a great, great, great ten years. I achieved everything. But it’s not my choice, it’s not my decision.
