It comes after Shirley revealed she had a confidence surge after being inspired by Angela Rippon’s age-defying dance.
The 78-year-old stunned Strictly viewers with a high kick that went over her head, resulting in some labelling her a sex symbol.
Shirley admitted that Angela’s impressive moves first made her feel ‘fantastic’, then ‘jealous’ and finally inspired to wear short dresses and show a bit of her own leg.
And last month, Shirley said she found her sparkle again after she underwent a non-surgical facelift.
The TV star said she had grown alarmed by some of the visible signs of ageing, including a loss of elasticity in the skin, which had affected her confidence.
After the procedure Shirley said it had really helped her feel better in herself to appear on prime time TV.
But she faced renewed criticism from viewers last weekend, after giving three of the show’s female celebrity contestants low scores.
Shirley gave lower points for Zara McDermott, Ellie Leach and Angela, than her fellow panellists on Saturday’s show.

The professional Latin dancer was booed by the audience last week, with an insider telling The Sun: ‘Her scoring surprised many.’
It comes a year after Shirley found herself at the centre of a sexism row after she was accused of favouring the male contestants over the females during last year’s series.
Former Coronation Street actress Ellie, 22, received scores of eight from judges Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke, but Shirley gave Ellie seven.
Former Love Island star Zara, 26, was given three sixes but Shirley gave her a five and broadcaster Angela was given three scores of eight but Shirley awarded her a seven.
A Strictly source told The Sun: ‘All of the judges are hugely experienced individuals who judge on dance and dance alone.
‘Any conspiracy theories circulating via social media suggesting otherwise are simply untrue.’
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Shirley, and the BBC for comment.
Strictly viewers took to Twitter to express their views after seeing Shirley give her scores.

One person wrote: ‘Of course. Another low score from Shirley for a woman,’ while another viewer posted: ‘Lmao never mind the young pretty woman, our Shirley will even score lower for the older woman. She’s consistent.’
‘Shirley being the lowest score for the young female again.. surprise surprise,’ commented another show fan.
Someone else posted: ‘Shirley’s dislike for young women is again so obvious,’ while another viewer wrote: ‘Shirley is so bait, always downvoting young women.’
And someone else tweeted: ‘Here we go, Shirley with the harsh critique for the women.’
Shirley was branded ‘sexist’ by viewers who were left unimpressed by her seemingly favouring the male stars on the show last year.
The series judge was also been accused of having ‘favourites whether they have ability or not’, with some viewers calling for her to be sacked on Twitter as they claimed she has ‘no credibility as a judge’.
In August, Shirley revealed how she was forced to seek counselling after receiving a torrent of vile abuse during the last series.
Though she has returned to the 2023 series, she previously told how she even toyed with the idea of not coming back.
