Strictly's Shirley Ballas torn over moving back to America: ‘I don't want to be a part-time Grandmother'
ok.co.ukShirley Ballas is thinking of moving back to America - to spend more time with her new grandson Banksi Moon. The Strictly Come Dancing judge's only child Mark Ballas, who is married to singer-songwriter BC Jean, made Shirley a grandmother last month when his first son was born.
