Shirley Ballas on bullies in the dance industry: "There's no way of getting them out"
Dancer and Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has said that the politicisation of professional dancing is “getting worse”, with dancers reluctant to perform in certain competitions for fear of not being recognised or marked by certain councils.
She also said there are bullies "at the very very top" of the industry.
Speaking to ѿý Radio 5 Live's Nihal Arthanayake, Shirley said: "You're treading fine lines in this industry all the time".
When asked whether the bullies are being called out, Shirley said: "To a certain degree, I would say".
