Strictly Come Dancing star Shirley Ballas’ life story could be turned into a TV drama – and she has an idea which Hollywood icon she wants to play her.<\/p>\n

Shirley says she has received offers to turn her 2020 memoir, Behind the Sequins, into a screen adaptation. According to the Mirror, Shirley, 63, would favour an American acting legend in the role.<\/p>\n

She said: “We have got interest for a six-part series. I am not sure who would play me. Angelina Jolie would be good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow Strictly judge Anton du Beke could also be in-line to feature in a possible drama. Shirley added: “I would love Anton to be a part of it… I am always open to offers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shirley opted to follow up her memoir with a novel, allowing her to include her most scandalous anecdotes in Murder on the Dancefloor, where main character, Lily Richmond, is based on her.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Good Housekeeping Live, she said: \u201cThere were many stories in the autobiography that I could not write, or they did not want me to include, or did not want me to write.”<\/p>\n

Strictly Come Dancing will be heading to Blackpool next Saturday for its 9th week. Contestants will be taking to the stage at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom.<\/p>\n
