Strictly star Shirley Ballas is reportedly set to swap sequins for a Costa Rica jungle – as she’s said to be joining Holly Willoughby’s new Netflix show.
Former This Morning star Holly is presenting the show, called Bear Hunt, alongside Bear Grylls. The gruelling series will follow a group of celebs who try to survive in a jungle while being hunted by Bear.
And the latest name reported to be running around the Costa Rica jungle is Strictly legend Shirley Ballas.
Strictly star Shirley Ballas on Bear Hunt
Bear Hunt is expected to drop on Netflix next year. Earlier this month it was claimed that host Holly jetted off to Costa Rica to film the endurance show.
On the Netflix series, the 12 celebs reside in the Central American jungle and learn survival skills. But in a big twist, the famous faces will become “prey” for Bear.
What’s more, according to its official synopsis, Bear Hunt will see “a group of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls”.
Shirley Ballas to show ‘whole other side to her’
So far, it’s been claimed the likes of Spice Girls legend Mel B and Rugby star Danny Cipriani will be put through their paces in the tense show. And it seems Shirley Ballas could also be joining the line-up too, apparently.
She will show viewers a whole other side to her.
A source told the Mirror: “Shirley is a fabulous choice, and is impressively fit thanks to years of ballroom dancing. She will be able to show off her strength and determination and show Strictly viewers a whole other side to her.”
