Shirley Ballas wants to get Cheryl Tweedy on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 58-year-old dancer is currently the head judge on the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition, and although Cheryl is also working as a judge on fellow BBC dance programme ‘The Greatest Dancer’, Shirley says she’d love to see the former Girls Aloud star test her limits on ‘Strictly’.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column whilst at the National Television Awards on Tuesday (22.01.19), she said: "There’s a few names bouncing around but I’m open to anybody that goes on. I would like to see Cheryl [Tweedy] on it. You know, I think she would make a great contestant."
And although she’s a fan of the 35-year-old singer, she says she hasn’t been tuning in to see her on ‘The Greatest Dancer’, which also stars ‘Strictly’ professional Oti Mabuse.
She added: "I haven’t been watching it. I have to say, I haven’t."
But if Shirley does tune in to watch the show, she will be able to judge Cheryl’s dance prowess herself, as the ‘Parachute’ hitmaker recently revealed that when the live shows kick off on February 2, she’ll be taking to the stage alongside her acts.
Cheryl said: "When we get to the live shows we’re going to be dancing. I just said it. We’re going to be dancing with our own contestants, so boom!"
It’s not just Shirley that wants to see Cheryl on ‘Strictly’ either, as ‘Greatest Dancer’ judge Oti recently urged the brunette beauty to compete in the show.
She said: "I would love to see her try. I think if she did ‘Strictly’, people would love her and see another side that they haven’t seen yet. She would be brilliant."
