STRICTLY Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has said she will “never feel completely safe again” after being targeted by a stalker who accused her of killing a member of her family.

The 64-year-old moved her mother to a different home and increased security measures due to harassment by Kyle Shaw, 37, who in February pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court to stalking Ballas, causing serious harm or distress between August 31, 2017, and November 29, 2023.
