Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has described her mother’s chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as "really quite scary", detailing how the condition causes her to choke and struggle for breath.
The 65-year-old dancer is now set to address MPs in Parliament to raise awareness of COPD, a group of lung conditions that severely impede breathing, following her mother Audrey’s diagnosis in 2022.
