The video also featured a special message from Shirley’s son, Mark Ballas, who features on the US version of the show, Dancing With The Stars.
Shirley posted the video to her Instagram page with the caption: “Brb, I’m crying thank you @bbcstrictly for the most beautiful, unexpected surprise this evening. 10 years on what I truly believe is the very best show on television.
“All those years ago, I walked into a world of television that was completely unfamiliar to me and little did I know what was in store.
To all the boys and girls on the show, thank you for your incredibly kind and touching words.
“You have no idea how much they mean to me. We share something very special, and I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been part of your journeys.
“I am proud of you all, I only ever want you all to do your best and I hope you know how much love and admiration I have for each and every one of you.
“To the Strictly fans, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your messages, your kindness and your support.
“I never take it for granted. In a world that can sometimes be so quick to focus on negativity, your love and positivity shines so very brightly.
“Please know that every message and every kind word means more than you will ever realise.
“And then my boy, @markballas. I cannot believe you managed to sneak yourself into that VT without me knowing.
“You caught your mother completely off guard and I don’t think you realise just how much that moment meant to me.
“No matter how many years pass, you will always be my greatest pride and joy.
“I am so very grateful that I get to call Strictly part of my life. Thank you.”
