- The story comes from the outlet cited.
Guillermo Mariotto, a judge on Italy's Ballando con le stelle since 2005, has suggested he may be ready to leave the show. According to Oggi, he appeared on Monday as a guest of Caterina Balivo on La Volta Buona and said: «I'd like to go for other reasons.» When asked to explain what those reasons were, however, he reportedly pulled back: «Let's just drop it…».
The network follows the same thread: the following episode of the show and another TV exit.
The remark comes a few days after another quip reported by the outlet: on Saturday night, live on air, after Ornella Muti stopped after 38 seconds because of a shoulder injury, Mariotto reportedly said: «If you leave, I'm coming with you». According to Oggi, that link to the actress's withdrawal does not explain the intention he expressed on La Volta Buona.
A judge with a long history
Born in Caracas on 13 April 1966, Mariotto is 60 and has sat at the Ballando con le stelle table since 2005, where he is the only judge to have appeared in every edition. He is also creative director of the Gattinoni fashion house. It would not be the first time he has stepped away from the show: according to Oggi, on 30 November 2024 he walked out live on air without a word, and the official explanation at the time was an emergency at the fashion house.
The Ornella Muti situation
As for Muti, the outlet reports that there is no official word on her appearance in the next episode: the actress has not ruled out a return, but everything depends on her recovery time. In the studio, fellow judge Barbara D'Urso reportedly criticised her live, and Pasquale La Rocca reportedly replied: «I find this conversation superfluous. It's a delicate moment, it's an injury».
