Strictly Come Dancing star Shirley Ballas rushed to hospital after 'scary' fall

On Saturday, Shirley Ballas, 65, Strictly Come Dancing head judge, was rushed to hospital and sent for a brain scan after hitting her head on a glass dressing table.
The TV judge is gearing up for the Strictly live tour, which kicks off January 23 in Birmingham with 30 shows until February 15, and Ballas is due to take part next week.
Posting on Instagram on Saturday, Ballas thanked fellow professional dancer Barbara McColl for securing an emergency appointment and Sammy Stopford for accompanying her at the hospital.
Doctors said she did not crack her skull and Ballas will rest a few days to heal her neck and back as advised following the scan.
Ballas has faced personal challenges before, including the stalker incident last August and her male suicide awareness campaigning as Strictly Come Dancing head judge since 2017.
