Shirley you’d have a cha-cha-chahuahua?

STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas attempts the foxtrot and fails hopelessly... using her pet pooch instead.

She cuddled Bertie the terrier while chatting to a pal at home in Los Angeles.

Shirley, 57, got the pooch from a rescue centre in California – where he was recovering from a broken pelvis. She said: “He is sooo sweet and kind. Even if he waddles when he walks.”

In Strictly terms, it looks like she gives him ca-nine out of 10. He certainly has a lovely fluffy head of hair. And so will Shirley once she takes those curlers out.
