It should go from the 'main fuse box' to an isolator fitted local to the shower, then from the isolator to the shower.
10mm should be adequate for most showers, assuming the cable run is a reasonably short one.
Just my .02
A conductor of 10 square mm is just over 3.5mm in diameter.

if you are going to run it from the 'main fuse box' then it should be connected to an MCB adjacent to the main switch
and ...RCD it somewhere
