Shirley Ballas revealed she has got her confidence back after an intensive course of high-tech beauty treatments totally transformed her appearance. For the past year, Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley, who turned 64 on 6 September, has been seeing one of the UK's top cosmetic doctors for a series of the latest non-invasive procedures to rejuvenate her face and neck. See the process in the video.
.. Shirley said: "I have to say that I think these treatments have shaved 30 years off me.
It has made me feel so confident and comfortable in my own skin. "There's a famous Beatles song that goes, 'Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm 64.' Well, I turned 64 last week (6/9/60), and I feel like I've got a new lease of life.
" It was a very different story just a couple of years ago when the Wallasey-born World Champion professional dancer felt insecure about her appearance and had even considered having cosmetic surgery. She said: "When I went into my 60s I was very much considering having a facelift. Back then when I looked in the mirror, I saw dull lifeless sagging skin, I had a lot of pigmentation with sun spots and I had little spider veins on my nose.
" Shirley added: "The whole thing about my face made me feel anxious especially because I'm in the public eye more and more these days. Just like anybody, I just want to look the best that I can at my age, but the problem is that when you reach your mid-60s and older, it gets so much harder to keep your skin lookin.
