STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas stripped off after an awkward beauty blunder backstage.
The head judge made her followers on Instagram laugh today after a bottle of talcum powder exploded over her.
Shirley, 61, wore nothing but a towel and a pair of stilettos in a hilarious snap she posted on Instagram.
She went to shake the powder over her body, but the the lid slipped off.
The Queen of Latin wrote over her photo: “Made a mess with the talcum powder. Love the smell. The top came off. Lol. Oh dear.”
Shirley has had an emotional series on Strictly so far, last week fighting tears over John Whaite and Johannes Radebe’s romantic rumba.
The two men put on a dazzling display with the moving routine, which judge Craig Revel Horwood said he wanted to be his “wedding dance”.
When it was time for the head judge to give her critique she was equally blown away – admitting that she was on the verge of crying.
She said: “Actually I’m quite moved, I feel really quite emotional after watching that.”
Giving feedback, the star’s voice cracked and she clutched her chest as she stopped herself and repeated: “I’m getting all emotional.”
John and Johannes made Strictly history earlier this year as the show’s first ever male same-sex partnership.
Meanwhile, Shirley has been undergoing extensive medical checks after fans begged her to see a doctor.
Shirley, who’s had previous cancer scares, told The Celeb Report: “My doctor was mortified by my results.”
Shirley added: “I try to take a day at a time.”
The Strictly Come Dancing head judge is determined to keep busy while awaiting answers.
In an exclusive interview, Shirley told The Celeb Report on Sunday: “I try to not to focus on that (health worries) because it’s easy for me to go down a dark route.
“I don’t have enough information yet, so I just keep trundling forward.
“That’s how I coped when I had my last cancer scare — it comes from my mum, who is very stoic about everything.
“I’m so busy with Strictly, my day job as a dance coach, my mum, Audrey. Everything is so busy.”
Shirley is being sent for scans of all her organs after she was found to be suffering from abnormal hormone levels.
Doctors had been searching for a suspected lump in her armpit.
