The queen of TV’s biggest dance show on the sexists, ageists and other bullies she has known – plus the ‘curse of Strictly’

It is the heels I see first – towering, spiky, perhaps not ideal driving footwear – as Shirley Ballas gets out of her shiny red Porsche. I have been waiting on the doorstep of her house, feeling a little scruffy. This is compounded when we get inside: it is the most spotless home I have ever seen. It almost feels a little unreal, like a film set, as if I have stepped into a Ballas biopic where our heroine is sitting, looking perfect in tight denim, having very definitely made it.
