Rumours had been circulating that Shirley wouldn’t return to the judging panel after she hinted in an interview that she had quit the show.
“Last year I was struggling. It wasn’t just a little bit, it was a lot – the majority of it was in silence,” she told the Mirror.
But she put the rumours to bed on The Jonathan Ross show, saying: “Well… I do believe it’s in the process. Is that the right way to say it? Yes.. their people are talking to my people.”
