This Morning: Shirley Ballas promises Strictly ‘treat’
Shirley Ballas has dropped a staggering 9lbs in just seven days.
The Strictly Come Dancing star has told all about her impressive weight loss after attending a “tough” juice retreat in Portugal.
The 62-year-old head judge told Mail Online: “I lost 9lb. Yoga is definitely something I’m going to keep up throughout the whole Strictly series. I have cleansed my system too, I do colonic irrigation, I’m up at 5am every morning.
“I wasn’t there to sunbathe, I was there to take every spin class, two hours hiking up hills that would put my heart rate close to 179, that’s how high we were going.”
Despite undergoing an intense two-hour walk at the crack of dawn, Shirley has only positive words to say about her week of arduous fitness training, explaining that she returned “really rejuvenated”.

She revealed that she’s now more ready than she’s ever been to embark on her seventh series of Strictly, and already has an impressive 32 outfits lined up.
The “Juicy Oasis” retreat Shirley attended overlooks a picturesque wide-flowing river and is surrounded by forest and mountains.
It’s run by fitness expert and author Jason Vale, whose retreats are also said to be a favourite of This Morning presenter Alison Hammond.
Jason revealed on his website: “I wanted to create an all-encompassing experience combining yoga, fitness, meditation, games, beautiful walks, education and the finest nutrition nature had to offer.
“In short, I wanted to create a retreat that could positively change the way someone feels, both mentally and physically, in just seven days.”

It’s not all gruelling hard work, as guests also have the option to participate in meditation, deep relaxation and aromatherapy massages during their stay.
However, Shirley managed to exceed the expectations set out in Jason Vale’s famous book, 7lb in 7 Days, as she beat that figure and lost 9lb.
Meanwhile, her comments come just days after she addressed her romance with boyfriend Danny Taylor.
She told The Mirror: “I’m not in a position at the moment where I want to get married.”
“We are still very much in love, care for each other deeply, and we have a good enough relationship where we don’t need to get engaged or married. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” she concluded.
She added recently that it was “miraculous” she and Danny had stood the test of time, and they are still together after four and a half years, despite busy schedules that often keep them apart.
Strictly will return to the BBC and BBC iPlayer next month, with the likes of Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Jade Goody’s son, EastEnders star Bobby Brazier.
