Appalling pictures captured the extent of the flooding damage to Shirley Ballas' home.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 59, was soaked to the skin as she waded through her flooded home on Instagram on Wednesday.
Shocking pictures showed the extent of the flooding damage to her home.
Her expansive dressing room floor was covered with water which had leaked through the roof.
The curtains were ruined and her make-up was destroyed in the damage.
Shirley voiced her frustration as her wardrobe of designer clothes and racks of shoes were at risk of water damage.
The Strictly star compared her dressing room to a swimming pool as she explained she had the same leak three times before it had snowballed into flooding.
She said: “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."
Shirley begged her fans for advice as she tried to come up with a solution to get rid of the "swimming pool" in her home.
She has laid out towels but she vented her anger she had paid a lot of money to "fix" the leak.
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.
"It cost me an arm and a leg - and trust me it was an arm and a leg - and builders, builders builders, what can one say?
“I’m just absolutely frustrated to bits this morning, so that’s another side you can see of me today is dealing with that and builders.
“It’s just a mess. I hope everybody has a little bit better start to the day than me.”
Shirley did the piece to camera while she was dripping wet.
