Shirley Ballas has revealed that she has suffered a cancer scare after being encouraged by her Strictly Come Dancing colleague Amy Dowden to attend a routine mammogram.
The dancer and TV judge, 63, spoke out about her recent health concerns in a new interview with The Sun.
Dowden was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May 2023, and missed competing in the most recent series of Strictly as she was undergoing treatment.
Ballas explained that doctors discovered lumpy tissue in her left breast after a routine examination, and she has been feeling emotional as she awaits news of the biopsy.
