Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas has bravely reflected on being bullied as a child. The 60-year-old, who grew up in Merseyside, has revealed that she was picked on for being poor - which led to her being beaten up by nasty bullies.

Dance guru Shirley says that before she was a teenager she had "heard it all" after the mean youngsters called her names. She also told how the trauma has meant she is now "resilient" to social media trolls.

Shirley said: "Let’s face it, I was a show-off, and they weren’t having it," The Daily Star reports. The BBC favourite continued: "That’s why when people are mean to me on social media I’m resilient to it. "By the time I was 10, I’d heard it all – language, bullying, nasty comments, the lot."
