Strictly judge Shirley Ballas sparks new feud with Netflix show co-star as she brands them a ‘diva’
SHIRELY Ballas has risked a feud with one of her co-stars on Netflix show Celebrity Bear Hunt.
Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley, 64, is one of the famous faces taking part in Celebrity Bear Hunt, hosted by Bear Grylls and Holly Willoughby.
She’s joined by the likes of Lottie Moss, Mel B, Danny Cipriani and Boris Becker.
And Shirley has slammed one of her “entited” co-stars as she opened up about filming the show.
She said: “There’s always somebody in a group that thinks they’re more entitled than the rest.”
Speaking to the Mirror, Shirley added: “If they tell me my bus will be ready at 9am then I’m there at quarter to nine, I am that person.
“When you have to hang around waiting for divas, that doesn’t work well with me, I wouldn’t say it was all plain sailing.”
Another person taking part in the show in Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen – and it was recently reported he “almost died” while filming.
During a challenge that saw him leap from a boat into water, the Changing Rooms legend became tangled in a bungee cord that nearly cost him his life as he battled to free himself before passing out.
A source told the Mail: “Laurence was very shaken as was everyone. He said that he thought he was a goner.
“It was a very serious situation and at the time we thought that maybe Netflix wouldn’t show what happened because it was that bad, but now it looks as if it will be in the programme.
“Netflix were very very apologetic about it afterwards.”
There was big drama behind the scenes as well as during filming.
We revealed how rugby ace Danny Cipriani came close to throwing in the towel over the “special treatment” he believed host Holly was receiving.

Meanwhile, The Sun revealed earlier this week how Lady Gaga is in advanced talks to perform at the Grammy Awards this Sunday.

“She’s up for two awards so hopefully she won’t go home empty handed.
“Her seventh album is set to be announced this week so it would be the perfect way to kick-start the year.”
Lady Gaga has long been associated with the hit ceremony — famously arriving on the red carpet in a huge plastic egg ahead of the 2011 ceremony.
She later “hatched” on stage to belt out her hit single Born This Way.
The Bad Romance singer made her Grammys debut in 2010 when she performed alongside Sir Elton John.
She also performed at the event in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 — and has won 13 gongs.
The superstar released the lead single, Disease, from her upcoming seventh album last November, which was her first solo UK Top Ten hit in four years.
