In this episode Gaby has two brilliant guests. First she chats to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’s’ Head Judge Shirley Ballas. They talk about her fascinating new book ‘Behind the Sequins’, her partner Danny Taylor and her dancer son Mark Ballas who actually pushed her to audition to be a judge on Strictly. She discusses the challenges of being a woman in her industry, bullying and Strictly’s new same sex couples. Also listen to hear her fantastic idea for a dance themed storyline in Coronation Street!  Stay tuned as next up Gaby talks to Ariyon Bakare who plays Carlo Boreal in the hugely popular series ‘His Dark Materials’ which is in its second series on BBC and iPlayer. He shares an emotional story about when he was homeless in London at the young age of fifteen, and how he went on to pass his exams and become a successful actor.               Produced by Cameo Productions, music by Beth Macari.  Join the conversation on Instagram and Twitter @gabyroslin #thatgabyroslinpodcast
