Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas was left upset with her co-star Craig Revel Horwood after he made some “painful” comments about her.
While they moved on from the row, Shirley was hurt by comments that Craig made about her while he was on a book tour in 2018.
The no-nonsense judge had made comments about her breast implants and while promoting his book, My Fab-U-Lous Life, he said of Shirley’s audition to replace Len Goodman: “Her boobs were like La BaZooKa things hanging out. It was not very, erm, Strictly. So they came in and sewed all that up.
“They had to push them down… and they’re fake.”
Shirley reflected on the comments in her own book, Behind The Sequins, where she said the comments were “awful and very, very painful”.

She admitted the comments brought up a lot of things from her past.
The head judge said at the time: “Once again, I was propelled back to my toughest days with [ex-husband] Corky, when he would make comments about my appearance: my crooked teeth, my nose, my a**e that was too big.
“All those insults just came flying back as I read what Craig had said, apparently in jest. I told him exactly how I felt.”
Craig was told how Shirley felt a sense of betrayal from him, in response he gave her a “grovelling apology” and sent her flowers.
Shirley had also said on This Morning at the time of the book release that you “can’t take words back”, adding: “Unfortunately, some things that are said to you are not humorous.”
She added: “I don’t need anybody to critique me, I can do that myself and a darn good job of it.”
But it looks like her relationship with Craig is absolutely fine as she said both of them are good at moving on and even declared that Craig has become very close to her heart.
She told the hosts at the time: “Sometimes, even in the workplace, you have these little moments. It’s best to deal with them, say your piece and move on.”
