Strictly's Shirley Ballas defends her decision to send Shayne Ward home amid accusations of being 'biased' during dance off with Wynne Evans
Shirley Ballas stood by her decision to send Shayne Ward home on last week's Striclty after receiving what she called a 'vitriol' reaction from some fans.
Despite naming both Sammy and Corky as she spoke of her journey to becoming a professional judge, she did not address recent reports that six months ago she split with her fiancé and partner of six years Danny Taylor, 51. Throughout the evening, Shirley made several revelations in front of an intimate audience, including that her first book - Murder on the Dance Floor - is set to be turned into a six-part television series. She also went on to speak about her upcoming project alongside her son Mark Ballas, a professional on Dancing With the Stars, where the mother-son duo will provide choreography for a Hollywood film called The Light Fantastic - a rom com based on ballroom dancers in Blackpool.
