Shirley Ballas reveals Covid hell that left her in bed for two weeks and not knowing her own name
Three months after being floored by Covid, Shirley Ballas, Strictly's normally energetic head judge, is still suffering from the effects of the illness, 60, may be back on her feet but she now faces an anxious wait to see if she has long Covid.
“I would say that first jab definitely helped, for sure, so I’d encourage people to get their vaccine. I want to get everything sorted before the series kicks off, but I’m optimistic that everything will be fine.”The sheer excitement of this year’s Strictly is spurring her on.The 19th series of the show is effectively its comeback after a year which saw the 2020 run shortened, the number of competing couples reduced and their annual heat in Blackpool cancelled.
“Let’s just hope we have a live audience — that would be absolutely thrilling. But I think even if we only had a partial audience for those few winter months, the public will really embrace it.”Talking of embraces, could that cast lead to one or two cases of the curse of Strictly, where dance floor dalliances lead to broken relationships?
Twice-married ballroom and Latin champion Shirley won’t admit if she is also preparing to slip into a wedding dress any time soon, should Danny pop the question.“We’ve been together for three years and we have a really good relationship in those lockdowns, though we haven’t had too much time to focus on ourselves.”
She married Sammy Stopford in 1980, but they divorced four years later. Then she wed Corky Ballas in 1985 and their marriage lasted 22 years and saw the birth of her son, professional ballroom dancer Mark Ballas, 35.
