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.
