Shirley Ballas Instagram – As we all close the book on another year, I always reflect on the year we’ve lived… ❤️ Having toured the country, visited the US, judged beautiful dancers, made memories with my mother and celebrated her 86th birthday … how blessed I feel, nervously took on my Skyathlon for @calmzone to remember those we all lost and in memory of my beautiful brother David, gratefully returned to @bbcstrictly for my 7th series, become a grandma to dearest Banksi who I got to spend precious glam ma times with, published a book, collected the @radiotimes awards for @bbcstrictly, met so many beautiful fans who have been so kind to me, visited @battersea, supported @suicideandco @britishairways @alderhey and so many other fantastic organisations and enjoyed precious time with those I love, I say gratitude to each and every person who has graced my path this last year. Thank you to you all for making this year truly beautiful in many ways. It’s been one of the most memorable and the support has been truly overwhelming. As 2024 approaches, remember to take love, family, friends and health with you by your side. Health is our wealth and family is our support. Surround yourself with love and remember yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is filled with uncertainty, but today is a gift. Enjoy and treasure every moment of 2024. Wishing you all a beautiful new year. ❤️ God bless you all. Shirley B Xx
