BBC Strictly Come Dancing star being 'lined up' as replacement after emotional farewell

Rumours are circling that BBC Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas is being lined up to replace Len Goodman on Dancing With The Stars in the United States. The news comes as Len announced that he will stand down as a judge on the American dance show.

A report by Birmingham Live highlighted that a source had told the Sun newspaper that: “Len’s exit leaves a big hole in the panel, but the show team feel Shirley would be a really great addition. Her experience is unrivalled and she has made no secret of the fact she’d love to spend more time with her son Mark, who is based in the US with wife Brittany".

Does that mean an exit from Shirley from the UK hit show? Well, according to reports: "She could hold both her Strictly job and a new role on Dancing with the Stars - as Len did for years.”
