In a recent interview, Shirley Ballas opened up about the investigation surrounding her fellow Strictly star, Giovanni Pernice. As the controversy continues to swirl, Shirley remains hopeful that the situation will be resolved and put to rest.
The BBC has launched an investigation into Giovanni, who will not be returning for the upcoming season. He has faced accusations from former dance partners, including Amanda Abbington and Laura Whitmore, about his behavior and teaching methods. There were concerns that this could overshadow the highly anticipated 20th anniversary season, and it was even rumored that the cast may be "gagged" from speaking about it. However, Shirley, who is the head judge on the show, has been vocal in her support for Giovanni.
When asked about the ongoing investigation, Shirley explained that she is now "staying in her lane." She has known Giovanni for 10 years and considers him a good friend, but she is not involved in the investigation. Shirley's focus remains on ballroom dancing, and she believes that everyone on Strictly has the best intentions of entertaining the country.
Shirley is known for her no-nonsense approach to teaching, and she acknowledges that the dance world can be competitive. She believes that teachers want their students to succeed, but sometimes their words may come across as harsh. On Strictly, Shirley strives to offer constructive criticism and help the contestants improve.
In regards to Giovanni's potential return to the show, Shirley admitted that she has no information on the matter. She does not get involved in the decision-making process, but she hopes that things will be resolved and sorted out. Giovanni has faced accusations from former contestants, but he has denied any allegations of abusive or threatening behavior.
As the controversy continues, Shirley remains focused on her role as a judge on Strictly. She is always searching for the best way to give constructive criticism and help the contestants improve. And as for Giovanni's future on the show, only time will tell. Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to the BBC later this year, and Shirley will be there to offer her expertise and advice to the contestants.
