Shirley Ballas could reportedly risk losing her judging role at an international ballroom contest due to speculation over her friendship with dancer Giuseppe Nonnis. The controversy arose after it was claimed that Ballas' bond with Nonnis, who had been staying at her home in south-east London, would breach contest rules, which prohibit a contestant from entering if a member of their immediate family or the same household is on the judging panel. However, sources close to Ballas have since confirmed that she and Nonnis do not share a household, clearing her of any wrongdoing.
