Shirley Ballas doesn’t know if she’ll be back on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ next year.
The 57-year-old dance expert replaced head judge Len Goodman on the current series of the show, and while she’s having a "wonderful" time, she hasn’t decided if she wants to commit beyond the current series.
Asked if she’ll be back in 2018, she told The Sun Online: "Let’s wait and get this season over with first.
"It’s been an experience. And at 57! It’s been wonderful."
Shirley also hit out at the viewers for complaining when fan favourites are sent home, when it is actually the audience vote which decides the bottom two.
She said: "They put Alexandra [Burke] in the bottom two and if I would have sent her home they would have blamed me but they put her there."
But the Queen of Latin admitted she had asked not to be involved in deciding the dance off.
She admitted: "I asked if I could judge on this but no I have to judge on that."
This year’s competition has been very closely fought and Shirley has no idea who will be lifting the glitterball trophy.
She said: "It’s an unpredictable season.
"You can’t call it. I think it’s going to go either way."
Shirley previously admitted she finds the dance off incredibly hard.
She said: "Having the deciding vote is the hardest part of this job and the thing I dread every week…
"The judges make their decision based on the dance-off alone, not on previous performances. It is getting really tough now – it’s anyone’s to win.
"But if you have a favourite, make sure you vote."
