GRAZIANO Di Prima and Vito Coppola appear to have taken a swipe at their former Strictly Come Dancing co-star Giovanni Pernice .
Giovanni, 33, has left Strictly Come Dancing amid an investigation by the BBC after at least three of his former celebrity partners made complaints about him.
While his professional co-stars on the show have failed to address Gio leaving or the damning allegations, his fellow Italian dancers Graziano, 30, and Vito, 31, took to Instagram to share an apparent dig at him.
They're currently on tour with some of the other Strictly pros and shared a clip of them enjoying the sunshine in Blackpool.
Vito said: "It's so sunny everyone, we are so happy because it brings us to our Italian weather."

Graziano's post could be seen as a swipe at Gio given he is a fellow Italian and is going through a hard time right now.
It comes after Vito appeared to make his feelings on the situation clear as he unfollowed Gio on Instagram.
Soap star Ellie Leach, who won the show last year with Vito, has followed suit and also pressed the unfollow button.
The Sun previously revealed how Rose Ayling-Ellis, who lifted the Glitterball with Gio in 2021, is "distancing herself" from him.
A source said: "Rose is finding the whole situation really tough. She had a really great experience with Gio so is really shocked by it all.
"She of course believes what others are saying but she is just trying to not get involved. She won’t be speaking about it publicly."
Celebrities including Laura Whitmore and Amanda Abbington have come forward to make allegations about Gio, claiming they were left “traumatised” by the experience of working with him.
In a statement on social media, Gio addressed the claims and wrote: "To my dear fans, I reject any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour, and I look forward to clearing my name.
"Those who have followed my journey on Strictly Come Dancing over the last decade will know that I am passionate and competitive.

"No-one is more ambitious for my dance partners than me,” he continued. “I have always striven to help them be the very best dancers they can be.
“This has always come from a place of love and wanting to win - for me and my dance partners. Thank you all once again for your continued love and support!"
