Queen of the ballroom Shirley Ballas swaps her dancing shoes for slippers after an intense workout \u2013 as she undergoes training for Strictly’s return.<\/p>\n
The show’s head judge was spotted emerging from a studio near her home in south-east London, where she had been doing a session of hot yoga \u2013 her secret to keeping fit for the dancefloor.<\/p>\n
The 63-year-old scraped back her hair as she attempted to cool down after the yoga, which takes place in a room with the heating turned up. And she had with her all the essentials: a Fitbit, water and yoga towel. Standing out above anything else, though, was the casual \u00a322 pair of smiley-face slippers from the easy living brand Nordic Peace.<\/p>\n
Ms Ballas gave a nod to her beloved rescue pup Charlie with a T-shirt that read: ‘My dog is my spirit animal’. She credits the lhasa apso with getting her through her late father’s death.<\/p>\n
