Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips has revealed that fans and viewers often mistake her for current head judge Shirley Ballas. The two posed together for a photo at the Pride of Britain Awards.
Posting the photo to her Instagram, where both women were smiling widely at the camera, Arlene said she is "forever" getting mistaken for Shirley and drew the comparisons between them. She said: "Do we look alike? I'm forever getting mistaken for @shirleyballas I guess the one thing we both have is we are from up North and both have traces of Northern accents in our speech, oh and we both dance!"
She added: "We both love life and we both like strong women." Shirley commented saying she was "in awe" of Arlene.
