Shirley Ballas, 58

Shirley lost her brother David to suicide in 2003. The Strictly judge supports CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably), a charity leading the movement against male suicide – the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. Shirley recently took part in Comic Relief, climbing Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness of the issues around men’s mental health. shirley says: “I think if we’d been able to put my brother David in touch with a fantastic organisation like CALM he might have been saved. When he died 16 years ago, there was a culture of men not sharing their feelings. I think, however, that things are on a positive track. People are less frightened to talk, and there are organisations like CALM, poised to offer support. It was too late for my brother, but if through raising awareness even one life is saved, then I will have honoured his memory.”
