SHIRLEY BALLAS TALKS ABOUT HER FEARS, HER RECENT BREAK UP AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS IN BOMBSHELL BOOK.

- BY TOM BRYANT

I'll never feel completely safe again after my stalker ordeal

In her memoir, Shirley also opens up about her seven-year stalking ordeal, admitting, "I will never feel completely safe again".

Her nightmare began when she joined the Strictly panel as the new head judge in 2017, replacing the outgoing Len Goodman.

Kyle Shaw, 37, claimed to be the biological son of her late brother, David, and began hounding Shirley with twisted messages on social media - even accusing her of killing David. One sinister message read, "Just a reminder, my dad is dead because of you, because you left him alone. He's dead. You killed him. You murdered him."

Shirley called the police and Shaw was warned not to contact her again. But the warning did nothing.

She writes: "He also started bombarding other members of my family, including my elderly mother." At one point, Shaw even managed to get hold of her former partner Danny's phone number. He told him he knew where they lived and, chillingly, described their recent movements.
