Summary
Jo and James are back, back, BACK and to celebrate, they've brought the most fabulous addition to Strictly Come Dancing since Ed Balls and Gangnam Style: it's head judge Shirley Ballas!
Shirley talks about her first season on the BBC, her relationship with Darcey, her tattoos, and how she deals with trolls – and what she thought of the online reception to Alexandra Burke, as well as the "bitchy triplets" on I'm A Celebrity.
This week's episode was recorded on December 19 at Shirley Ballas HQ. It was edited by Kat Brown, with music by Martin Austwick.
