Strictly Come Dancingjudge Shirley Ballas won’t be twirling into the ballroom with Bruno Tonioli during tonight’s (November 2) live show, as she’ll be taking things a little easier after undergoing a four-hour operation toremove her breast implants as a cancer precaution.

The star opened up about her procedure and why she wants others to think twice before going under the knife in a new interview withThe Sun, where she confirmed that she’ll be missing the iconic dance lead-in the judge’s do at the start of the show.

“I won’t be able to dance with (fellow judge) Bruno (Tonioli) like usual,” Shirley explained, “But I think everyone will understand.

“I’ll be on a limited amount of medication because I don’t want to be twirling too high now, do I?”

But while Shirley won’t be doing any dancing of her own tonight as she recovers, she did add that the bosses over at the BBC One show have been “one thousand and fifty per cent supportive” of her decision to have her breast implants removed.
