Shirley Ballas has been branded 'stunning' by her co-stars as she was seen in a series of new snaps having once again defended Giovanni Pernice amid the ongoing BBC investigation into his behaviour.

The Strictly Come Dancing head judge has insisted she knows nothing about the investigation into the 33-year-old Italian dance amid allegations of "threatening and abusive behaviour" towards his former partners on the hit dance show, which he strongly denies.

Taking to Instagram, Shirley shared a number of pictures from her latest magazine cover shoot. The 63-year-old kept it simple but beautiful as she was seen sporting a black vest under an open white shirt and a pair of matching leggings.
