Strictly Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas became rather flustered on Saturday night when a professional dancer flirted with her and offered to pick her up.
After Ellie Simmons and her pro dance partner Nikita Kuzim danced the Charleston to ‘Too Darn Hot’ by Kiss Me Kate, they received a huge applause from the audience.
Equally as excited were the judges – including head judge Shirley, who was in awe of the couple’s lifts.

Taking the head judge’s words literally, Nikita walked off the dance floor and put his arms out in a flirty way, offering to lift Shirley up in the air.
A flustered Shirley was left hot under the collar by the racy request as she squealed from her seat, putting her hands over her face and giggling.
The exchange didn’t go unnoticed by viewers at home as they were straight on social media to share their thoughts.
