As the 65-year-old Strictly Come Dancing judge spoke about her breakup with toyboy fiance Danny Taylor, she continued to share her thoughts on relationships.
Shirley Ballas has opened up on her split from toyboy lover Danny Taylor with a blunt message. The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 65, has recently called off her long-term engagement to the 52-year-old, and claimed she has given up in her quest for love.
The dancing star’s most recent marriage ended in divorce. In November of this year, Danny and Shirley called it quits on their relationship, and she has since admitted that she struggles to hold down a man because of her “married” to dance.
She explained that she was obsessed with her career and that she had potential flaws as a result of her love of it. Therefore, I don’t just have a job. It’s my husband and I are.”

She then admitted, “I don’t believe I’m brought up on Planet Earth to date.” Every relationship has ended in disaster. I believed I had found The One with my previous boyfriend, but that also wasn’t effective.
Earlier in the month, Shirley admitted she felt lonely, but doesn’t intend to walk down the aisle again. She first wed Sammy Stopford back in 1980.
The pair’s professional Latin dancing position was at the top of the world. However, they parted ways in 1984 when Corky Ballas, an American dancer, and Shirley started collaborating. Before introducing son Mark in 1986, Shirley and Corky exchanged vows 12 months later.
However, things didn’t work out, and Shirley says she now prefers dating someone who is at least 13 years her junior after her most recent failed love affair with Danny.
In her autobiography, Best Foot Forward, Shirley states that she wants her future spouse to be “completely unattached” and “financially independent.”
And it comes after she admitted to feeling “lonely” at times when she admitted she had tried unsuccessfully to join the elite dating site Raya. She stated, “I think my “toyboy” days are over, but the age bracket I’ve chosen is fairly broad but not too young.”
If they are fit, I believe they will be able to get to 55 to 70. If they are loaded, up to 98. Just being facetious.
She continued, “I can tell you that I won’t marry again.” I’ve experienced too many disasters to list, but I’ve already done so. Call me cynical, but I find it hard to believe anything will ever be the same.
But she did acknowledge that being single was bad. She said, “I miss the intimacy, the affection, and the little squeezes.”
She then stated, “I get lonely. I’m sorry, but I can still feel lonely in the most crowded room, I assure you.
