"Lol for your information No I have not": Shirley Ballas Responds to Speculation on Cosmetic Surgery
Dame Shirley Ballas, the judge on Strictly Come Dancing, has fired back at fans who accused her of having cosmetic surgery. The debate over her youthful appearance did not sit well with the 61-year-old. It all started when fans criticized the high scores she gave to the male contestants and low scores to the female contestants. This led to speculation about whether she had undergone cosmetic procedures to maintain her looks.
Refuting the allegations, Ballas replied to the discussion with some sharp words. She said, "Lol for your information No I have not. Hope that clears up your gossip. Always helps to get the facts."
Ballas credits her youthful skin to NeoGen nitrogen plasma treatments. This non-invasive procedure uses super-heated nitrogen gas to boost collagen and elastin, resulting in natural rejuvenation of the skin. She expressed her satisfaction with the treatment, saying, "My face just didn’t sparkle and it really dented my confidence... I’m absolutely delighted with the results."

Unfortunately, comments about Ballas's appearance are nothing new. Since joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, the six-time British Open To The World Latin American Champion has been subjected to several nasty messages on social media. The constant criticism and trolling have taken a toll on her mental well-being, and she has even considered leaving the show as a result.
Dom Aldworth, head of brand marketing at Slingo, offered advice to Ballas on how to stay positive. He suggested taking breaks from social media and seeking support when the trolling becomes overwhelming. Despite the negativity, Aldworth believes that participating in the BBC show is a smart career move for Ballas, opening doors to magazine covers and book deals. However, he acknowledges that the trolling has had a negative impact on the former professional dancer.
