Dancing with the Stars: The D'Urso-La Rocca-Muti Love Affair
In these first episodes of the new edition of “ Dancing with the Stars ” the “triangle” between Barbara D'Urso, Pasquale La Rocca and Ornella Muti is undoubtedly taking centre stage .
As you may recall, last year the host was a competitor paired with the dancer, who this year, with D'Urso on the judging panel, is partnered with Ornella Muti, competing as a competitor. In recent weeks, controversy has fueled a flurry of speculation regarding Barbara D'Urso's alleged jealousy, especially after the video of the kiss between La Rocca and Muti that closed last year's performance.
Now, however, it seems the matter has been resolved, or at least that's how it seemed after last night's episode. Here's what happened.

Last night, Saturday 17 October 2026, a new episode of “Ballando con le Stelle” aired , the dance show hosted by Milly Carlucci that enthralls millions of viewers every year.

At the end of the performance, which drew a standing ovation from the audience, the host said: " I loved it, it was beautiful. Everything was beautiful. The beautiful choreography, the beautiful dresses, the performances. I loved it very much," awarding a flat 10. La Rocca then spoke, thanking Carlucci: "Over the years, I've met so many wonderful people, but this year you've given me a great gift because I've met a wonderful person who I will always hold in my heart ." These words were interpreted by many as a veiled dig at D'Urso.
