Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas is set to address rumours she will be leaving the hit BBC show this weekend.
The 62-year-old is due to appear on ITV's The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday evening.
Ballas, who recently admitted she has penned an erotic murder mystery novel, will share the talk show host's coach with comedian Lee Mack, actor Jeff Goldblum, singer John Legend and comedian Jack Whitehall.

She has already hinted she might not return to Strictly after saying she had been "struggling" with abuse she had received from being part of the show.
Discussing the rumours that she may not go back to Strictly, Shirley suggests that talks are underway for her to return, saying: "Well… I do believe it's in the process. Is that the right way to say it? Yes.. their people are talking to my people."
During her appearance on the ITV show, Shirley also speaks about having been on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour earlier this year with fellow judge Anton Du Beke, 56.
She tells host Jonathan Ross : "It was an amazing experience. [Anton] was on it this time - that man is so funny. He comes across as the perfect gentleman, but he's very naughty behind the scenes."
Shirley recalls: "He came to my dressing room [and] I had my big girl Marks & Spencer knickers out. The next thing I know, we’re on set and he pulled them out of his top pocket and started to wipe his head with them… good job they were clean, eh?"
There's also discussion about Shirley having penned her own book, which is titled Murder on the Dance Floor. The book is expected to be released later this year.
Teasing about the future, she says: "I'm writing another one next year. [...] I wanted to do something I've never done before. I like to write. I enjoyed the process. Along with a wonderful writer who helped me."
The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday night (April 8) on ITV and ITVX from 9.50pm. You can catch up on previous episodes of the latest series through ITVX now.
