Strictly's Shirley Ballas hits back as she's cruelly branded 'mutton dressed as lamb'

Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas issued a defiant response after being branded "mutton dressed as lamb" by someone on social media over the weekend.

The ballroom dancer, 62, has spoken recently about having received harsh remarks from viewers and she noticed even more of such responses on Twitter a few days ago.

They came following Saturday night's episode of Strictly, with Shirley – who has been head judge since 2017 – responding to some of them before the results show aired on Sunday.
