Shirley Ballas, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, reported to the Mirror that her ex-boyfriend Danny Taylor had left him and that their romance had ended.
Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas’ ex fiancé Danny Taylor has thanked his new partner for her support following his heartbreak. The ballroom dancer, 64, dated Danny, 52, for six years before their split.
She confirmed their split last year as she admitted she was grateful to have the love and support of her mother Audrey and her son Mark Ballas.
While performing panto, Shirley and Danny met at the age of 13. Before Danny vanished, the pair fell in love and remained in touch for six years before getting engaged. Later, when Nannette showed up, she appeared as though nothing had happened, leading to Shirley’s decision to end their romance. Her ex-boyfriend Danny is now praised by his 40-year-old new partner Rachel Jones for guiding him through “murky waters.”

He gushed, “Happiest of birthdays to this absolute corker!” and shared a number of photos of Rachel. A generous, compassionate, and hilarious powerhouse who has helped me survive the most difficult and agonizing times I can recall, as well as being a fabulous mother to two smashing boys.
Keep the laughter coming, please! Normster xxxx, big love. When he shared a photo of them together on a June vacation, “Danny publicly confirmed his romance with Rachel.”
His new love came just seven months after he “vanished,” leaving Shirley devastated on her 64th birthday. She had received a text from one of Danny’s relatives expressing concern that he’d gone missing.
Shirley was engulfed by the harrowing thoughts of her brother David who had tragically taken his own life, in 2003, aged 44. The Strictly star frantically tried to hunt Danny down and at 2am she noticed her messages to him were being read.
Her relief turned to anger as Danny reappeared the next day and carried on as if nothing had happened. It was clear she wouldn’t have him in her life anymore as she told the Mirror: “I will never forget that day until the day I die.
“I can remember looking across the room and seeing my mother go through her trauma.” I initially believed that this couldn’t continue. Not just for my sake, but also for my mother.
Shirley told us, “I still loved him, but I thought I couldn’t continue to be a part of.” It’s all very depressing, they say. The pair first pantomized together in 2018.
They quickly fell in love, and Shirley even had wedding rings when the pair got married in 2021. “It was obvious how much I cherished that man,” she said.
She explained, “And he entered my life when I really, really needed it, and he was such a kind person.” What’s the most appropriate way to say this, though?
There were red flags along the line that I chose to ignore, but it just got to the point where the relationship was becoming increasingly difficult for me. Since that time, Shirley and Danny haven’t spoken to one another.
Shirley was engaged to her ex-boyfriend Nigel Tiffany when she was 16 and later wed another ballroom partner Sammy Stopford when she was 18 before their romance.
She and Corky Ballas wed in 1985, and they welcomed son Mark together, before splitting up in 2007. The marriage ended in four years.
