Shirley Ballas has shared footage of flood damage to her home caused by a leak in her "dressing room."
The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 59, looked soaked as she shared a video of herself “swimming” through her flooded home with ruined make up on Instagram on Wednesday.
She showed followers how the water now reached up to her ankles and admitted that the problem had made her half an hour late for a cancer benefit event.
The 59-year-old expressed her devastation as the designer clothes in her wardrobe risked water damage and she explained that she had already had to deal with the same leak "three times already."
Filming herself dripping wet, she told her followers: “So when you wake up in the morning, you haven’t had the best night’s sleep, you’re exhausted, and you get the same leak in the house that you’ve had three times already that’s supposed to be fixed and your whole dressing room is swimming in water and your curtains are ruined and your make-up is a mess and still you have the leak."
She described the situation as a “swimming pool” in her home and laid out towels on the floor to temporarily fix the damage.
She added: “I mean what do you do? I’ve got the towels down. I’m paddling in it and it’s been a little bit frustrating to say that this house was renovated from scratch.
In her caption, she further explained that her 82-year-old mother had injured her toe, although it is unclear when exactly the accident happened.
“So many stories to tell here about my experience,” She wrote under the same video. “Tell me yours ?? My mums toe by the way went black. The door fell off as she was getting out of the bath."
She added: “She’s 82 it could have seriously injured her. No one came around to fix or check if she was ok thoughts ??”
