Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has promoted Shirely Ballas ' new memoir after she wrote of a row over him 'body-shaming' her.
On Saturday, Craig tweeted an image of himself holding Shirley's new memoir, Behind The Sequins, and pulling a shocked facial expression and holding his hand over his mouth.
He captioned the image: "Just received Shirley's auto. It's a fab-u-lous read!!!! Well done darling."
It comes after 60-year-old Shirley's memoirs saw her discuss comments that Craig, 55, had reportedly said when promoting his own book in 2018.
According to The Sun, he said in 2018: "What happened is that she came to the audition and literally had her thing open to her navel. I am not joking.
"Her boobs were like La BaZooKa things hanging out. It was not very, erm, Strictly.
"So they came in and sewed all that up. Then they had to push them down . . . and they're fake."
Reflecting on the comments in her memoir, as revealed exclusively by the Mirror, Shirley wrote: "It was awful and very, very painful.
"It brought up a lot of things from my past that I thought I'd dealt with."
She went on to claim: "Once again, I was propelled back to my toughest days with [ex-husband] Corky, when he would make comments about my appearance: my crooked teeth, my nose, my a**e that was too big.
"All those insults just came flying back as I read what Craig had said, apparently in jest. I told him exactly how I felt."
Shirley claimed that he went on to give her a grovelling apology - with flowers - and the pair mended fences.
Mirror Online has reached out to representatives of Craig Revel Horwood for comment.
Meanwhile, Shirley has waded into discussion on Strictly will judge same-sex couples against opposite-sex couples on the show, as Nicola Adams becomes the first celebrity in a same-sex pairing later this year.
She explained: "I'll be judging movement to music, footwork, characteristic of what's going on within the dance and spacial awareness on the floor.
"So I don't see it as some people see it."
