Former ballroom and Latin dancer Shirley, 64, showed off her toned figure as she stretched out next to a pool before plunging in and propping herself up on the side.
She tagged her location at the sun-soaked Juicy Oasis retreat in Portugal and told followers: “Bank holiday well spent at @juicemasterretreats … off to a great start.
“Thank you @jasonvale, it’s the best place on earth.
“Getting in shape for the season ahead @bbcstrictly x”
The resort’s Juice Master Retreat – loved by a host of celebrities including broadcaster Carol Vorderman and 2025 Strictly star Vicky Pattison – combine juice diets with yoga and fitness classes.
They claim to offer a “seven day mind, body and spiritual journey” and, with the Portugal venue, a stunning centre surrounded by the forest.
Shirley’s fans were quick to gush over her latest upload and one wrote: “You always look fantastic! Lovely to see you relaxing.”
A second put: “You look amazing!!! I hope you’re feeling relaxed. Can’t wait for next month when Strictly is back!!!!”
A third wrote: “Can’t wait for Strictly and you look amazing as you are.”
One then posted: “Looking fantastic and Strictly ready!”
