Instagram to tell Strictly Come Dancing fans to be "kind" after head judge Shirley Ballas, 62, received harsh criticism for pronouncing the dancer's name wrong twice on the BBC dance show.The professional dancer made sure to reiterate that the "hateful comments" directed towards Shirley were not needed as she is not even "offended" by the minor error.Shirley has come under heavy scrutiny in the last few weeks for using the wrong moniker while giving her critique of Dianne and Tyler West's dance routine.While reviewing the pair's Viennese Waltz to I’ve Been Loving You Too Long by Seal, Shirley called Dianne, Diana, prompting fans to call the show judge out on social media.This has left Dianne forced to address the "hateful" criticisms of Shirley, reiterating to her followers to "be kind".She wrote in view of her 879,000 Instagram followers: "Firstly thank you guys so much for all the support on our dance last night. It was a tough week but I am forever in awe of the hard work and dedication Tyler brings every single week."Another point I want to address is I have seen a lot of hateful comments aimed at Shirley for simply adding an a to the end of my name which doesn't offend me, but what does make me upset is seeing someone being bullied online."We are all human and doing the best we can.

STRICTLY fans are convinced Shirley Ballas has reignited a 'feud' with Fleur East. Last month, viewers took to Twitter to declare the head judge had it in for Fleur after Shirley revealed she would have saved Richie Anderson over the former X Factor star in the dance off during Movie Week. While the feud rumours have quietened down in recent weeks, they were reignited once again tonight after Shirley's comments to Fleur following her latest routine.

WITH two marriages behind her, Strictly’s Shirley Ballas is hoping it is third time lucky with boyfriend Danny Taylor – she just can’t get him to pop the question. The BBC1 dance show’s head judge has been dating her toyboy since 2019 and is ready to move their relationship to the next level. But Shirley, 62, says 50-year-old Danny seems reluctant to get down on one knee — despite buying a rather opulent engagement sparkler almost a year ago.
