Strictly Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas tackles world’s fastest zipline after brother’s suicide

This is the moment Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas completes the world’s fastest zipline in memory of her brother who died in a suicide.

Ballas became an ambassador for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm) because she “wanted to do more” for her brother who tragically died 20 years ago.

She will also tackle a wing walk on 10 August and a skydive on 12 August, as part of her Skyathlon challenge. She hopes to raise £200,000 for Calm.

Ballas posted a video of the challenge in Penrhyn Quarry in North Wales on her Instagram account.
