(Image: BBC) Shirley Ballas has sent out a veiled message on her social media, cautioning fans against being "recruited to hate another person" amidst the ongoing probe involving former Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice . The Strictly Come Dancing head judge, 63, hasn't shied away from voicing her support for the 33-year-old dance professional, who has faced scrutiny after his departure from the BBC One show earlier this year.

Giovanni has been at the centre of misconduct allegations behind the scenes, leading the BBC to initiate an inquiry into the accusations following his partnership with Amanda Abbington . On Wednesday, Shirley took to Instagram to post a cryptic message in her story, advising her followers against harbouring hatred for "another person who hasn't wronged you". function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
