Shirley Ballas suffered a scary fall as she shared a health update with fans on Instagram on Saturday.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 65, told followers she fell backwards and hit her head on a glass dressing table, prompting a hospital visit for a precautionary brain scan.
She wrote: ‘Thank you to all who reached out to see how I’m doing. Scary fall backwards hitting my head on the glass dressing table. Trip to hospital to get a brain scan.
‘Fortunately for me no cracked skull. I’ll rest a few days to heel my neck and back.
‘Hugs thank you to @barabara_mccoll for getting my emergency appointment and to Sammy Stopford for taking me, and sitting with me all day. Gratitute as the Dr said I was very lucky.’
It comes after Shirley recently confirmed she is back on the dating scene and ‘looking for somebody with intellect’.
‘I may have had a date or two,’ admitted the Strictly head judge, who gave up on romance after she split with boyfriend Danny Taylor just over a year ago and focused on looking after her mother Audrey, who is 88.
But now she is open to possibilities again, adding: ‘I know my truth. I know my authentic self, and if I want to go out on a date I will go. Nothing serious. No labels, no tags.’
