“Curvy women are gorgeous. All women are gorgeous.” — Shirley Ballas Quote

Curvy women are gorgeous. All women are gorgeous.

'Strictly' is so loved by the British public, I have always been a massive fan.

My mother collects engagement rings.

I'm the happiest at home when I get a visit from my daughter-in-law, BC Jean, and Mark Ballas, my son. They'll pop round for breakfast or I'll attempt to cook them a meal. That's the most special time for me.

When you are part of a massive TV show like Strictly,' it's not just about the professional dancers and celebrities taking part, there could be young or old people out there who are watching and they might also be inspired to take up dancing, and I find that so special.

Choosing when and whether to have a baby is a fundamental right for all women, no matter where they live.

Part of the problem with the discovery of the so-called breast-cancer genes was that physicians wrongly told women that had the genetic changes associated with the genes that they had a 99% chance of getting breast cancer. Turns out all women that have these genetic changes don't get breast cancer.

I love men that love women. Morgan Freeman, who I worked with on 'RED,' was very flattering to me. But he is flattering to all women. He is a woman-charmer.

I think white women need to wake up and say, 'Not all women are white,' three times in front of the mirror.
