Shirley Ballas has forgiven Kristina Rihanoff for stealing her husband in 2003.
The new Strictly Come Dancing head judge, 56, had been married to Corky Ballas since 1985 before he became the ‘Siberian siren’ Kristina’s dance teacher – fueling their romance for the next five years.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, the impressive Latin dancer admitted the two were now friends: ‘I’ve had lunch with Kristina. I’m a people person. I love people.’
