Andrea Delogu Returns to Ballando, Wins Three-Way Dance-Off and Secures 30-Point Bonus

She says returning to work helps her manage the loss as she keeps her mourning private.

Overview

  • In the November 15 live episode, Delogu re-entered the competition, won an initial three-way spareggio, and earned a 30-point bonus for the next round.
  • She performed a waltz with partner-teacher Nikita Perotti that ended in tears and prompted a standing ovation from the audience.
