Shirley Ballas 'finally' details secret new role - and could it be a stepping stone away from Strictly?

Shirley Ballas reacts as she sits on the judging panel on Strictly Come Dancing.

Shirley Ballas had big dance shoes to fill when she took on the late Len Goodman's role as Strictly Come Dancing's Head Judge in 2017 and she's been taken into the viewers and cast's hearts. She's expected to return for the upcoming season (who else can't wait for the new presenter announcements?) but ahead of re-taking her chair at the glittering judges table there's something else on the horizon.

It turns out Shirley has been keeping a secret and she has bagged herself a new ballroom role across the pond. Taking to Instagram she confirmed she's part of the judging panel for Dancing With The Stars' new spin-off.
