During a chat on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 this morning, the professional dancer burst into embarrassed laughter when fellow guest David Walliams made a cheeky remark about her son.
The 57-year-old lost it after his saucy innuendo after previously discussing the rumours she’s going to quit after just one series.
“Where did that little Americanism slip in from? Where did you come from? What have you been doing up until now apart from dancing?” host Sara Cox started.
Shirley replied: “Well I come from the north of England, but I’ve lived in the United States. My son’s on Dancing With The Stars over there – the sister show to Strictly Come Dancing.”
When asked if Mark, 31, was a dancer on that, she continued: “Yes, we’ve won that 10 times between the three children. There’s 10 glitter mirrorball trophies at my house. Do you want to polish them?”
Comedian David, 46, then interjected: “I’m impressed. I would like to polish their balls,” before his co-stars lost it in a fit of giggles.
Presenter Sara, 43, joked to Shirley: “It’s a good job you’re sitting down,” before the Little Britain revealed he was a big fan of the glitzy competition.
“Of course I am, I’m rooting for Debbie [McGee] – I’d love to see her win,” he added ahead of the grand final.
But, Joe McFadden is currently the favourite to triumph, with Ladbrokes offering odds of 4/5, followed by Debbie (9/4), Alexandra Burke (5/1) and Gemma Atkinson (20/1).
Strictly Come Dancing concludes tomorrow at 6.30pm on BBC One.
