Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas has shared her relationship fears while opening up about life with boyfriend Danny Taylor.

Shirley, 62, has been married twice previously. Last month she revealed she had been “pushing to get married” for a third time – until “things changed” for her in 2022.

The ballroom star also admitted in July how she believes actor Danny, 50 is “not in a place to get married”.

And now Shirley has addressed her concerns she “doesn’t do well” in her love life due to other matters taking up their time.
