Exciting news for fans of Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas! The talented dancer is gearing up to appear in a brand new Netflix reality series, alongside none other than adventurer Bear Grylls.
Since joining the beloved BBC show in 2017, Shirley has become a household name and even made a surprise appearance on The Masked Singer earlier this year. Now, she's reportedly set to join the star-studded lineup of Bear Hunt, a competition series that will test the limits of its contestants in the unforgiving landscape of a Central American jungle.
With filming set to begin this month, the 63-year-old and her fellow cast members are currently undergoing intense fitness tests to ensure they are prepared for the grueling conditions that lie ahead. Once rehearsals and safety checks are complete, the 12 celebrity participants will be officially announced.
Among the names rumored to be joining Shirley on the show are Spice Girl Mel B and rugby union star Danny Cipriani. According to a source, Shirley is a perfect fit for the show, thanks to her impressive physical fitness from years of ballroom dancing. They also believe that she will be able to showcase a whole new side of herself to Strictly viewers.
This exciting opportunity comes on the heels of Shirley's recent health scare, where she underwent multiple tests for cancer. Thankfully, she shared on Instagram that she received the all-clear and is now urging others to stay on top of their health checks.
As for Bear Hunt, fans will have to wait until 2025 to see Shirley and the other celebrities battle it out in the game of "cat and mouse" with Grylls. The Agency has reached out for comment from Netflix and Shirley's representatives, so stay tuned for any updates.
In the meantime, you can catch Shirley on Strictly Come Dancing, currently streaming on BBC iPlayer. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, don't hesitate to reach out to The Agency's entertainment team – they would love to hear from you!
