[Shirley Ballas says vile death threats have
left her scared to leave her own home - little more
than a fortnight after her return
to Strictly Come Dancing.
The professional dancer has resumed her
judging role on the long-running BBC show
after it returned with its twenty first
series on September 23.

But sinister social media messages
aimed at Ballas, 63 - many of them
threatening or sexual in nature - have prompted
concern for her safety and left her fearing
that people are “lurking in dark corners
or hiding behind walls”.]

Dear me.

I'm no fan, but there are lines you don't need to cross. Unfortunately there's lots of nutters out there, and Shirley's bearing the brunt of it. It's really wrong. Shouldn't be a part of being in the public eye but it is.

Top Right.

Really concerning.
Some very sick and dangerous people causing unnecessary stress to decent people.

It seems like some of the Incels are using a Celebrity Dancing contest as an excuse to hate on women, unfortunately.

And like you Kate I am not that keen on Shirley on Strictly either, but **** me these people take it to a whole unnecessary level.
