While on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday 3 November, Shirley Ballas gave an update on her health. Strictly Come Dancing viewers expressed their concerns for the 61 year old after they spotted what they thought to be a “lump” under her arm during a recent show.
Discussing how she initially dismissed people’s concerns, Shirley decided to go to the doctors after more than 10 people contacted her.
She explained to Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid: “I put up my right arm and one or two people got in touch, I kind of ignored it, and then there was about 11 people so I thought ‘no I’d better go to the doctors’.” Shirley went on to say that while her doctor couldn’t detect a lump, she looked at the Strictly judge’s previous bloodwork from a few.
