Shirley Ballas has thrown the gauntlet down to this year’s Strictly Come Dancing stars, with a rule that was branded ‘strict’ by colleague Tess Daly
The former world champion dancer has been head judge on Strictly since 2017, taking over from show original Len Goodman. While she has extensive knowledge of ballroom and Latin, giving her the perfect pedigree to be a Strictly judge, some of her critiques have gathered criticism from viewers over the last few years.
Shirley found herself at the centre of some last ditch drama at the end of last week’s results programme, when she told host Tess Daly tha t she didn’t agree with the decisions of her fellow judges, who all voted to keep Matt Goss in, at the expense of Kaye Adams.
