During her fitness retreat in Portugal, Shirley Ballas presented an impressive appearance as she struck numerous poses at the elegant Juicy Oasis hotel on Monday.
The main judge of Strictly Come Dancing, aged 64, preparing for another glamorous dance season, was seen sporting a youthful physique in a trendy multicolored swimsuit, enjoying the sun after a day filled with health and wellness routines.
I proudly sport a stylish two-piece swimsuit, boasting a well-defined bikini top and complementary high-waisted lower part, skillfully accentuating my well-toned figure.
Shirley found herself feeling incredibly happy as she gathered her dark hair into a ponytail, opting to go without makeup for a peaceful swim without any cosmetics.
Posting some scorching photos on Instagram, she captioned it as: “Wrapping up a long and fulfilling day; now off to sip some juice and do my evening yoga. @jasonvale @juicemasterretreats This place is simply heavenly.
This year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing might undergo a change in format, as reports suggest, after the announcement of the celebrity participants.
This upcoming television show, which has been facing criticism, will make its comeback on your screens in September, with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman continuing as the hosts.
For the year 2025, Shirley, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood, and Motsi Mabuse will once again take their seats on the judging panel.
The list of this year’s stars has been unveiled, and it was recently confirmed that Lewis Cope from Emmerdale will be joining the roster.
On the other hand, The Sun states that there’s a change in the format, where celebrities and professionals will swap partners for just one week.
An insider said: ‘A switch-up week is a great way to spice up Strictly Come Dancing.
Voting opportunities are provided for fans, allowing them to choose their preferred celebrity whom they wish to witness dancing alongside their favorite professional dancer.
The source explained that the introduction of a new component might potentially interfere with the rhythm of the performance for well-known actors, should they share a strong rapport with their dancing partner.
When contacted by the Daily Mail, a Strictly spokesperson said: ‘This story isn’t true.’
Previously, Kai Widdrington danced during the swap week, which was during his stint on Dancing with the Stars Ireland in 2020.
Management decided to implement a new format, having seen it thrive in the United States. Notably, Kai will be partnered with Brian Dowling, a past Big Brother champion and presenter.
Simultaneously, Ian Waite, a previous professional dancer on Strictly, has proposed that the BBC should introduce a special edition of the show featuring renowned dancers. Additionally, he expressed his desire to rejoin the dance floor.
He told The Mirror: ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was an all-star version.
It could be either April or May for our series featuring top dogs such as myself, Zoe, perhaps Brendan, and Natasha!
The 54-year-old critiqued managers for not rehiring past professional dancers, even though similar series within the franchise have done so on occasion.
As a dedicated admirer, I’d humbly suggest this twist: “However, please don’t contemplate reintroducing pros, except for Aljaz [Škorjanec]! Such a unique presence is seldom found elsewhere. In America, they tend to appear and disappear, much like the changing tides.
Boy, it can really feel exhausting and demanding sometimes. Don’t you think taking a year off would make us come back feeling so much more energized? I bet many top professionals would relish the chance for a well-deserved break!
Strictly has already been hit with a fresh scandal just weeks before the new series kicks off.
According to reports, the BBC has notified the Metropolitan Police about a fresh accusation, as legal investigations into the series have been initiated by lawyers.
The broadcasting company initiated an investigation into their family-oriented program, following allegations that two of its performers were found using cocaine.
As reported by The Sun on Sunday, officers from the Metropolitan Police are said to be investigating additional claims.
On a Saturday, it emerged that a celebrity from Strictly Come Dancing had been taken into custody under suspicion of sexual assault.
The police are currently questioning the man regarding accusations about sharing private, intimate images without consent.
On Friday, August 22nd, a man was apprehended by police under suspicion for both rape and the sharing of private, intimate images without consent, as reported to Daily Mail by a Metropolitan Police representative.
In collaboration with the Hertfordshire Police, we are conducting a shared investigation. At this initial phase of our probe, we appeal to anyone holding relevant information to step forward and share it with us.
The arrest was made after a claim from someone else about suspected sexual misconduct and illegal drug use. Further investigation is currently underway.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d prefer to respect the ongoing nature of a police investigation by refraining from offering any comments that could potentially influence its course.
There is nothing to suggest this is related to the current Strictly production.
