BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas says she been 'up all night' as she shares emotional post

Shirley Ballas said she and her beloved mum were 'up all night' as she eagerly awaited to find out some exciting news. The Strictly Come Dancing star was watching wide awake into the early hours of Tuesday morning (November 22) to watch the BBC One show's American counterpart, Dancing with the Stars.

Her son, Mark Ballas, had made it to the final of the dance competition with TikTok star Charli D'Amelio. And Shirley was desperately watching to see if the pair lifted the Mirrorball trophy, the equivalent to Strictly's Glitterball trophy, alongside her mum, Audrey.

And it will have been worth the lack of sleep as Shirley and Audrey got to see Mark and Charlie crowned champions of Dancing with the Stars 2022. Sharing a photo of the victorious pair on Instagram, doting mum Shirley wrote: "A huge congratulations to @charlidamelio and @markballas. Champions of @dancingwiththestars Season 31. Oh my goodness. I couldn’t be any prouder of you both.
