Shirley Ballas, head judge of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Strictly Come Dancing, chooses the Tracks of My Years in an interview first broadcast in 2018. Shirley joined the panel in 2017 after the departure of Len Goodman and will be at the helm on Saturday for this year's final joined by fellow judges Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mobusi. Veteran panellist Bruno Tonioli has only been able to put in the occasional appearance from Los Angeles due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Dubbed 'The Queen of Latin', Shirley hails from Merseyside and has been dancing since the age of 7. She has been crowned US Latin American Champion and British National Champion on numerous occasions. By 21 she had won nearly every major title she competed in worldwide. She is the only person to have ever won the British Open to the World Latin American Championships in Blackpool with two different partners and reached the finals an impressive 17 times.
The next two tracks Shirley has chosen are from Aretha Franklin and Alexander Jean. Ken also has your love song dedications plus the record and album of the week. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
