"I WILL ALWAYS HAVE BOTOX twice a year!'

October 30, 2023

Woman caught up with head judge Shirley Ball as to talk Strictly, becoming a granny for the first time and why she'd never say no to having a face lift

"I WILL ALWAYS HAVE BOTOX twice a year!'

It's crazy to think that just a few years ago many of us hadn't heard of Shirley Ballas. But when The Queen of Latin took over as head judge on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, she quickly became a household name.

Now Shirley, 63, who's Life is but I been with partner Danny Taylor, 50, for four years, can't walk down the street or pop to the shops without every th my st being recognised. But she wouldn't change it for the world. 'It's lovely,' she tells us. 'Most people are nice and kind and they just want to give you a hug.

Shirley hasn't always had such an easy ride with the public, though. She's opened up about the extent of the horrible trolling she has received online and how it impacted her confidence. But thankfully, she told us that she's now hired a PA, who is keeping her away from all of the negativity.

'This year the trolling is better, 100%. I've still caught one or two things online when people can be mean. But I just do my job, I do it happily and just intend to have a really good six months with the tour as well. So I’m anticipating a smoother run.’
