" It wasn't like it is today where everybody's got to walk on an eggshell to tell you something, " the 63-year-old told the Radio Times podcast.
" I went back to dancing Six Weeks after having My Baby .
" I was told: 'I marked you third as I Refuse to look at The Stretch marks on your back. I find it revolting. '"
She added: " I just accepted it, moved on and did what I needed to do - for me, it was Character Building . "
Ballas, who is Strictly's head judge, said her experiences as a young dancer had meant she had to learn How To be less harsh when giving criticism herself.
" I had so many walls up from working in the industry for years. When we critique someone there's a frown and you're very direct. "
She Said her son told her that wouldn't work on British TV so gave her some tips about being constructive and smiling.
"'Maybe that way' rather than 'Your footwork sucks. ' I think I do a pretty Good Job ! "

The Judge said Dowden showed courage by appearing with a Shaved Head .

" It took courage because she did have her wig there. "

She has spoken about online abuse since taking up the High Profile position on one of the UK's most popular shows.
Last month she told Channel 5 that she had taken on a PA to filter her messages so she wouldn't have to see The Most offensive ones.
