Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, 63, calls off wedding to toyboy, 50, and vows never to marry again
SHIRLEY Ballas has called off her wedding to her partner Danny Taylor and vowed never to marry again.
The Strictly head judge got together with the actor in 2019 and got engaged in 2021 but she has now insisted she will never walk up the aisle.
She said: “Two marriages, an engagement, two long-term relationships later and I will not be getting married again. I’ve made the decision.”
Despite the declaration, she is still believed to be with the stage star.
Shirley, 63, married her dance partner Sammy Stopford, now 67, in 1978 when she was 18, but they separated five years later.
She then wed American dancer Corky Ballas, 63, in 1985, who she had her son Mark with, but they divorced in 2007.

The telly star met Danny, 50, while taking part in a pantomime and previously said she was eager to tie the knot for a third time.
Speaking about him in 2019, she said: “I would marry him tomorrow, if he asked me.
“If this is what love is, I have never experienced it before.”
However, last year she admitted she hadn’t seen her partner for two months as their hectic careers had kept them apart.
Discussing men during an appearance on Alan Carr’s podcast Life’s A Beach this week, Shirley added: “My mum says they’re like buses - you get on one and you get off the other. It’s fine.
“I just have to get used to that again.”
