Shirley Ballas Faces Questions Over Judging Giuseppe Nonnis

10/3 @ 2:44pm by Morten Nielsen

Shirley Ballas could face scrutiny over her role at next week’s International Championships after claims about her closeness to dancer Giuseppe Nonnis

The Strictly Come Dancing head judge is due to assess Nonnis in the Professional Latin competition at the Royal Albert Hall

Organisers’ rules prohibit competitors from appearing before a judge who is an immediate family member or de facto spouse

Dance insiders reportedly fear the arrangement could compromise the event’s integrity, while a source close to Ballas insists the pair do not share a household and that no rules have been broken.
