Go Through the Keyhole at Strictly judge Shirley Ballas' Los Angeles house

1/6

Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has opened the doors to her Los Angeles home – and it gets a 10 from us. The professional dancer allowed Keith Lemon to tour the property on Through the Keyhole, showing luxurious touches such as an outdoor swimming pool, her stylish décor, and even a framed photo of herself with Tom Cruise, taken when she gave him private salsa lessons.

The 58-year-old owns houses in both Los Angeles and the United Kingdom, and when asked which she preferred, Shirley replied: "I’d probably say the United Kingdom, it’s where I was raised."

Shirley previously told HELLO! that she is a "perfectionist" when it comes to hosting guests at her home, explaining: "I like the knives and forks to be in a straight line. I like the spoons and everything to be in the right line. I like the table to be beautiful with flowers and a nice tablecloth. I'm the hostess with the mostess."
