Milly Carlucci and Selvaggia Lucarelli Say Goodbye to Dancing with the Stars

Selvaggia Lucarelli is leaving the judging panel of Dancing with the Stars . After a decade of harsh criticism and controversy, the commentator has chosen to remain with Mediaset to host L'Isola dei Famosi , and host Milly Carlucci has broken her silence on the departure.

The words of Milly Carlucci

Interviewed on the sidelines of the presentation of the Italia Loves Unesco event at the Verona Arena, Milly Carlucci confirmed the commentator's decision: "Selvaggia has stated that she has a different path, with great affection and friendship on our part, but we'll think about what will happen later ." Regarding the future composition of the jury, the host avoided predictions: "I'm not making any predictions about the jury, we're not really talking about it. It's a topic we should reflect on all summer and then reach a solution in September, given that the jury is the driving force of the program . "

An iconic jury to be rebuilt

Selvaggia Lucarelli 's departure represents a turning point for the Rai 1 talent show , which loses one of its most talked-about and beloved characters. Carlucci, however, wanted to emphasize the program's strength: "The fact remains that our judging panel is the most iconic and talked-about in all of Italian entertainment ." Before thinking about the judging panel, however, another priority is needed: "The first thing to consider is the cast, because without a cast, there's no Ballando . "

What's new in the next edition

The next edition of Dancing with the Stars will be a revolution: in addition to Lucarelli's departure, the program will also be changing studios, leaving the Foro Italico for the Saxa Rubra studios . However, comments were stern regarding Raimondo Todaro , the longtime teacher who left Big Brother VIP and had expressed a desire to return: Carlucci said he "already returned to Dancing with the Stars for the 20th anniversary celebration," and the show aims to change to stay relevant.
