Taking to Instagram this morning, Shirley shared some pictures and videos of her “dear friend”, dancer Michael Wentink, who has died aged 46.
Michael was one of South Africa’s most accomplished Latin American dancers and choreographers.
Michael won several major titles, including the World and British Open Latin Championships, with his partner Beata Onefater.
He later brought his expertise to the judging panel of Strictly Come Dancing South Africa after winning the show in his first and only year as a pro.
“Feeling very sad this morning, after the loss of our dear friend and true industry legend, Michael Wentink… where do I even begin,” she captioned the post.
“Michael wasn’t just part of my life, he was like family. He wasn’t just an incredible dancer, he was a kind, caring soul who brought so much joy, warmth, and laughter into our lives. His loyalty and love were unmatched, and his smile was irreplaceable,” she then wrote.
