September 05, 2021 - 16:59 BST hellomagazine.com Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has revealed her top picks for the new series of the hit BBC1 show. The Liverpool-born dancer known as the Queen of Latin has already got her eye on a few of the stars taking part.
"I think we've got a really great cast," Shirley tells HELLO!."Dan Walker looks like he'd be an ideal ballroom person and AJ Odudu has got such a great, larger-than-life personality, so she's going to bring something really unique and special. Tom Fletcher is a musician, so you would think he has rhythm."Loading the player... var track=function { dataLayer.
And she is also looking forward to seeing actor Greg Wise, who is dancing in memory of his sister Clare, who died of cancer in 2016, on the dancefloor."I think anybody who dances from the heart is always more unique," she says."It's not always just about footwork, it is about that soul and performing in that honest, giving way, so that's lovely to watch."Shirley also speaks for the first time about Anton Du Beke's appointment on the judging panel.
In the interview, Shirley, who is supporting Macmillan Cancer Support's Coffee Morning, urges people to take part in the initiative on September 24."Nearly 98% of Macmillan funding comes directly from donations. I can only urge the public to host a coffee morning as it will really help us deliver these services to people living with cancer, who desperately need it right now and in the future.
