Shirley Ballas has been left "crying and emotional" and says she may never return to TV’s Strictly Come Dancing after trolls made her life hell. She is yet to sign for a new series, and she said she'd been shaken by hate jibes.
The Mirror Online reports that Shirley, 62, says she was in tears and at “an all-time low” due to hate messages she received after every show in the last series. Irate fans questioned her decisions, accused her of ageism and sexism, and took cruel swipes at her appearance.
The head judge previously admitted that, while she loves her job, she is hesitant about returning this year after “hugely struggling” with the toll. The BBC are in talks to keep “Queen of Latin” Shirley – loved and revered by millions as the smiling face of Strictly.
