SHIRLEY Ballas broke down in tears today as she spoke about her brother's suicide during an appearance on This Morning. David took his own life 20 years ago and his photo is now being used as part of an exhibition in London's Southbank by charity CALM.
Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley, 61, sat down with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to share some memories of her brother.
Revealing she'd visited the exhibition, Shirley said: "Seeing my brother there just brought everything back from 20 years ago and I’m thinking to myself ‘If I knew [what I know] now back then I could’ve really helped in a much better way’." Phillip, 60, asked Shirley to describe David, and she replied: "He was a rather large man and he was kind of like a powerhouse person on the housing estate where we lived. "Everybody loved him, he was a big brother, he was like a father - he was everything to me. .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
