Ex-Strictly pro: New judge Shirley Ballas ‘won’t mince her words’

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

After a year-long wait, the new judge of Strictly Come Dancing has finally been revealed as Shirley Ballas. Known as the ‘Queen of Latin,’ she’ll replace Len Goodman, who is leaving the show after 12 years. Ex-Strictly pro Ian Waite told 5 live’s Tony Livesey that the new judge is “not only a great dancer but is one of the best coaches in the world.” He also expects her “not to mince her words.” “I think she’ll be completely honest with the couples.” This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on 9 May 2017.
