Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has shared a poignant message on Instagram, urging women to not miss their mammograms after a recent cancer scare. The popular BBC star, 63, revealed that she underwent a biopsy after a second mammogram, and is currently awaiting the results. In 2019, Shirley had her breast implants removed due to concerns over cancer, following a history of the disease in her family. She has emphasized the importance of regular self-breast checks and not delaying mammograms.
