Shirley Ballas has issued a dignified, yet defiant response to a troll's call for her to get axed from her job as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.
Shirley has now headed up the panel on the hit BBC show for five years, having made herself comfortable in the head judge's chair previously occupied by fan favourite Len Goodman. As a former dance world champion, Shirley has all the qualifications and dance pedigree to be a Strictly judge, but that hasn't stopped viewers taking exception to many of her comments and decisions she's made on the show.
It would be fair to say that Shirley is the judge who continues to split opinion the most, with her having to contend with 'sexism' accusations this series, due to her so called 'harsh' treatment of Fleur East, something both she and Fleur herself have dismissed, while others say she favours male celebrities, after her 'easy on the eye' remarks while giving performance critiques.
