Now, the mum-of-one has been looking at a possible new career opportunity away from the popular dance show.

In an interview with Daily Star and other press, Shirley hinted that she may have signed up for another reality show.

When asked if she would be open to doing other reality shows, she said: “Oh I want to do SAS: Who Dares Wins, I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

"I want a man to scream in my face because I’ve had that all my life, I think that could kind of be fun.

“I like anything that’s jungle-orientated or anything that means I have to put wellington boots on and gets you out there, out on the moors.

"Not so much the glitz and the glamour because even though I have it on Strictly, I’ve had it all my life.”

When asked if she had been approached by any of the shows she is interested in, she teased: “Maybe.”

However, if she were to join this year's cast of I'm Celeb, Shirley would need to sacrifice her time on Strictly to fly out to Australia as both programmes overlap.

As it has not yet been confirmed, fans will need to sit tight and wait for what the ballroom expert ventures into next.

Last month, Shriely was reportedly in advanced talks for Celebrity Big Brother.

A source said: “Shirley is deep in discussions about swapping her judges seat for the Big Brother diary room chair.

“She is a big fan of the show and said she wanted to take part to show the public a different side to her than the woman people are used to seeing on Strictly.

“The only thing holding Shirley back is the BBC’s position on her taking the job as she wants to keep everyone happy.

“She is confident, outspoken and would make brilliant television.”
