"I vote for you, Shirley to be the new head judge on Dancing With The Stars!" one fan told her on Twitter, whilst another added: "If Len is leaving dwts, Shirley is definitely replacing him, so she could be leaving Strictly or doing what Bruno used to do to commute between both shows."

Despite living in the UK, Shirley likes to keep up with DWTS, mainly because her son, Mark Ballas, is currently a professional dancer on the show.
The 36-year-old has been on Dancing with the Stars for 19 seasons and has lifted the glitterball trophy on two occasions.
Shirley has been a judge on Strictly since 2017
Mark has made it to the finals on eight times, and on Monday he will dance to win the trophy one more time alongside his current celebrity partner, TikTok star Charli D'Amelio.
Shirley has been supporting the couple throughout the competition, most recently telling them: "A huge congratulations to @charlidamelio and @MarkBallas for making the final of DWTS PASO DOBLE AND V WALTZ just beautiful in every way. I stayed awake all night as there is an 8-hour time change. Phenomenal performance #DWTS."
