Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas strips off for rare saucy bikini snap

Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas stripped off in the heatwave.

The age-defying star, 59, rarely parades her dance-honed physique in skimpy attire.

But the head judge peeled off her clothes for a sizzling swimwear post on her social media as she soaked up the sun over the weekend.

The television sensation looked amazing in her multicoloured bikini.

Shirley kept on slinky purple heels, a baseball cap and shades as she stood on a patio.

The professional dancer held a script for the Cinderella panto she will star in in December and she gushed about her agent's dedication to getting her the lines early.

She said: "Sometimes we forget to mention those close to us that go way beyond the call of duty.

"To my brilliant agent Ashly @ashleyvallance from @intertalentactors thank you for getting my script early and for all you do for me. You are so appreciated by me for all you do.

"For also keeping me on track during lockdown with some amazing projects that I can’t wait to share. You are just simply the best."

Shirley will play the Fairy Godmother in the play in Blackpool but she isn't expected to perform on some dates due to Strictly commitments.

The professional dancer was believed to be planning to get engaged to her actor boyfriend Danny Taylor after going through a "make or break" period.

The pair have been living together during the coronavirus lockdown.

A source close to Shirley told the Daily Express earlier in the month: "Like all relationships, lockdown could make or break them but they seem happier than ever and you can see in the videos there is a lot of love between them.

“I don't think they will leave it too much longer before they get engaged, they both see this as something special.

Coronavirus lockdown has been delaying preparations for Strictly Come Dancing and it could delay the filming, leaving the series pressed for time.

As a way to speed up the process, it's claimed show bosses have considered culling two couples a week instead of one.
