Shirley Ballas is to star with Bear Grylls on his next survival series

The 63-year-old star - who is best known as head judge on 'Strictly Come Dancing' -will reportedly appear in the new series - which will be presented by survival expert Bear and former 'This Morning' host Holly Willoughby - and has been described as a "fabulous choice" for producers.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Shirley is a fabulous choice, and is impressively fit thanks to years of ballroom dancing. She will be able to show off her strength and determination and show Strictly viewers a whole other side to her."

The news comes just one day after Shirey revealed that she had undergone biopsies after last week having a mammogram and told fans that they hadhave come back clean.

She said on Instagram: “Thank you to you all for your well wishes following my two mammograms, one ultrasound and three biopsies last week.

“I am feeling blessed to share that my results have come back all clear – there is no cancer present.

Referring to how she posted a picture of herself with a bandaged chest amid her tests, Shirley added: “Sharing the picture to my story last week very much triggered my emotions but I feel it’s only right for me to share both the highs and the lows of life.

“If I was able to help just one lady, then sharing my picture was worth it.

“I got my recall while on holiday and I immediately cleared my diary to allow for the appointment. I urge all women to do the same.

“Please do not put your mammogram, smear test or in fact any appointment off. They really can change your life. Who knows what may have happened if I put mine off? Get booked, get checked, get your body MOT everyone.

“With immense gratitude to friends, family and fans who reached out. I appreciate you more than you know. Love and hugs, Shirley x.”

Shirley – who had her breast implants removed in 2019 to make it easier for doctors to spot cancer – captioned her health update: “Thank you to you all for your well wishes following my two mammograms, one ultrasound and three biopsies last week.

“I am feeling blessed to share that my results have come back all clear – there is no cancer present. X.”
