Strictly star Shirley Ballas, 63, has shared on social media a conversation she had with her mother in which she discussed how much sugar they both eat, and how she has been warned by doctors to take care with her diet.
Audrey replies: “I like cake,” and she adds that she has two sugars in her coffee and used to eat sugar butties as a child. Shirley’s mum, who is 87, clearly doesn’t fancy changing her diet, but Shirley reveals that “I have to go gluten free, that’s what the doctor says, and I have to cut the sugar because that might be what’s giving me a rash.”
The Strictly Come Dancing judge recently teased what to expect of the new season of the dancing show which is due to return later this year, including an “off the chart” line up of celebrities to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary. “It’s going to be absolutely off the chart,” the judge teased. “Just when you think the show can’t get any better, it does. We’ve got a great professional line-up, of course, Tess and Claudia are back,” she continued.
