Ballas scores 10 for Royal speculation (Image: BBC) Shirley Ballas sends message to Giovanni Pernice on Instagram Strictly superfan Queen Camilla may make a surprise cameo on the show’s 20 th anniversary series on BBC One – with a member of the public as a dance partner, it’s been claimed. The tip comes from well-placed Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas who was promoting her new paperback this week, Murder on the Dancefloor. “There are two things I would like to ask for [on the anniversary series]," she said.

“I would like to see one member of the public on the show, just one. They can scour the country and I think that would be a nice dynamic mix and perhaps somebody from the Royal Family. “Camilla loves it and Kate came with the children last year and we got to meet them.



The Royal Family love it and they watch it every week so one day we might get somebody from the Royal Family doing it. Maybe that is the surprise this year? I didn't say that, by the way!” Her other wish might be easier to arrange. “I would love to dance with Tom Jones, you know like in the early days with his hips and the silky trousers.

I think it would be nice.” She added: “I spoke to the executive producer yesterday [about the series] and she told me, "We have got things that will curl your hair this year”. They have managed to secure things that are absolutely off the chart so it is very exciting.
