Strictly Come Dancing has been embroiled in an ongoing scandal for months following the Giovanni Pernice controversy.
However, another infamous scandal which has been associated with the show since day one is the notorious "Strictly curse".
Di Prima, 33, and wife Giada, who is also a dancer, shared their thoughts on the couple-destroying "curse" that has seen many splits and cheating scandals since the BBC competition series began.
Speaking to OK!, Giada came to the conclusion: "The 'curse' is in every job. It could happen in an office or a bar. I think the most important thing is trusting the person."
Di Prima chimed: "We do the same job, we are professional dancers. We respect each other and have principles and we try to share everything we are going through in the season with each other.
"Giada is my best friend, she knows everything. When you don’t want to do things in the wrong way you never even think of it."

"We have to find the right time in our lives to do it. Of course we want a family in the future, absolutely."
Meanwhile, other professionals on the show have shared their thoughts on the Pernice controversy, which has seen the 33-year-old leaving the show.

"We will miss him. It was a massive surprise. Things can happen that we don’t know about," she continued.
Speaking to The Mirror, she went on: "I don’t want to say anything that’s not right, and I don’t want to hurt anyone.
"But it’s not a nice feeling for anyone. We are all so busy during the show doing our own thing.
"We are all in a bubble with our own celebs. I wouldn’t be able to comment (on the allegations). I haven’t spoken to him - he’s busy doing his thing on tour. I don’t know what happened. It is really sad."
