Shirley Ballas is known for making sure her body is, as she puts it, ‘telly-ready’ for Strictly Come Dancing, and has previously confessed to intermittent fasting and religiously weighing herself every day in the run-up to the show.

She told The Sun, ‘I am fat. I can’t fit in my trousers, but I am not going up another dress size. I have gained 20lb [since] you last photographed me, but I am 6lb down this morning.’
