BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas makes fresh swipe at viewer backlash after 'vile trolling'

Shirley Ballas has issued a fresh dig at viewers of Strictly Come Dancing after revealing the 'vile trolling' she has received. The BBC One dance contest's head judge came under fire over the weekend as she returned to the judging panel for the show's much-loved Movie Week special.

But she has now returned to social media to reveal some big news after what she described as a "difficult week". The 62-year-old took to her Instagram Stories to sharing her latest incredible achievement with her hundreds of thousands of followers. She could be seen looking glam in a black blazer and sparkling trousers as she held onto an award.

"This certainly made a difficult week more beautiful – second industry award this week," Shirley wrote alongside the beaming image. She then appeared to issue a thinly veiled dig as she added: "I guess I do know a thing or two about dance."
