Shirley Ballas has shut down any rumours of a split between her and her boyfriend Danny Taylor following a comment in response to her loved-up post. To mark Valentine's Day, the Strictly Come Dancing star took to social media to pay tribute to her man Danny Taylor.
The pair met back in 2019 after they met during a pantomime production of Jack and the Beanstalk. Like his partner, the 53-year-old is a trained dancer in ballroom, tap and waltz but is an actor, known mainly for his theatre roles.
