Shirley looked fantastic as she posed in high heels and a baseball cap, flaunting her pins and flat stomach.
She held the script to Cinderalla and said: “Just want to thank my friend and agent @AshleyVallance for all he does for me. For keeping me sane during lockdown and busy with some amazing projects,, you go beyond the call of duty. @InterTalent @InterActors @SamuelJHolmes @N1CKW1NSTON #pantomime #wintergardensblackpool”
Shirley has nabbed a role playing The Fairy Godmother in the upcoming Winter Gardens staging of Cinderella this Christmas.
It’s the first pantomime at the Blackpool venue in over 60 years and will run from 13 December 2020 to Sunday 3 January 2021.

Shirley recently opened up about being in lockdown with Danny and adjusting to being “cooped up” every day.
The dancer explained: “It is quite an education.
“Danny is used to travelling doing his Blood Brothers show and I am used to travelling with my dancing but now Danny and I are cooped up together 24/7 self-isolating.
“We’re learning to live together, it’s challenging, but we’re getting there. It’s challenging for anybody to live with anybody. But it works – we’re going to keep working on it.”

In January 2019, The Sun exclusively revealed that Shirley was dating Daniel.
The couple met during rehearsals for Jack And The Beanstalk, which they starred in together over Christmas.
News of her new romance comes just a week after she had told TV host Lorraine Kelly that she’d met “somebody nice.”
The Strictly judge had also hinted she had started dating again when she tweeted that her panto co-star Daniel was a “very funny handsome man”.

Shirley joined Strictly in 2017 and was paid £180,000 by the BBC for that series.
This was £70,000 short of the amount given to her predecessor Len Goodman, 75, for the same role.
But in 2018 she landed a victory when she received a pay rise to equal Len’s former £250k salary.
