Shirley Ballas has been flooded with support as she shared her heartbreak over her brother's death on the anniversary of his passing. The Strictly Come Dancing star has bravely spoken before about her brother, David Rich, and how he took his own life a number of years ago.
Back in June, the BBC One dance contest's head judge appeared on This Morning where she was speaking about her involvement in an interactive exhibition called The Last Photo, by the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm). The poignant display featured Shirley's brother, David, who took his own life in 2003 at the age of 44.
During the chat host Phillip Schofield told Shirley that he could see the 'pain etched' in her face over the loss of her brother. Asked about David, Shirley said: "First of all he was a really large man. He was kind of like a powerhouse person on the housing estate. Everybody loved him. He was a brother, was like a father... he was everything to me.
