Strictly Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas made an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine this morning to update fans on her health.

During the show, the Scottish TV host asked Shirley about the lump on her arm that fans had spotted during a previous episode of Strictly.

Shirley, who went for a health check at the time, gave an update on this morning's show about the results she had received.

On Lorraine today she said: "About nine different people thought they'd spotted this lump on my arm and then I went to the doctors to get checked and then they found other things.

"My hormone levels were all off and they were checking for various things. There was a little thing on my leg that we had to take off."

The Strictly star praised her fans for their concern and kind words. She said: "I can only be grateful to the fans.

“Sometimes social media can be such a harrowing place and sometimes it can be magnificent.

"I have to say that the fans that are on my social media are really kind.

"They watch out for you and for that I thank them all - truly grateful."
