Strictly Come Dancing star Shirley Ballas is the head judge of the hugely popular competition in the UK – but she has revealed one major perk should she ever be invited to judge the US version of the show Dancing with the Stars – and we can understand!
While visiting the show, Shirley revealed whether she would ever join the judges panel across the pond, with one panelist pointing out: "Len's gone [over there] and Bruno's coming over here to do another show".

Shirley explained: "I think at the moment they're going to keep it to three judges but the bonus of being over there would be that I see my son every week. I miss him, we've all got family, I saw him at Christmas, he came over for ten days then I had a slump for three days. I couldn't operate, I couldn't do anything. It took me a minute to find my feet."

Speaking about her relationship, Shirley revealed how she flew out twice to see Mark when he decided to join the DWTS cast, explaining: "Well I went out to the United States to see him, I haven't seen him in a long, long time… 'Could you fly back tomorrow mum, I've decided to do it but I need to get back into shape.' I went back out there, and he had to keep up with me for two weeks."
