Shirley Ballas has just six words for those who think she has split from partner Danny Taylor.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 63, and Danny, 50, had been subjected to rumours they had ended their engagement back in 2023, whilst in 2024, it was reported that they had decided to go their separate ways.
However, Shirley - who is gearing up for the brand new series of Strictly - has insisted things are better than ever for the couple and that they were still together after she previously admitted she had "changed her mind" about marriage after two divorces.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she revealed that the pair were in a great place and stronger than ever. She said: "Danny and I are still together contrary to anything you might read. Who knows [if we'll get married]."
Shirley also spoke about becoming a grandmother, after her son Mark welcomed a son called Banksi Wylde Ballas. Speaking about being a grandmother, she revealed she bonds with her grandson every day, even if they're thousands of miles away. She shared: "I just want to spend more time with him. I see him every day on FaceTime, he's crawling now! The world is a much smaller place now, with FaceTime and you can fly over there with good planning. Mark can come over here, I can come over there."
Previously, in a podcast, Shirley admitted she would never marry again. She recalled: "I was in a long-term relationship and he finished with me two days before I went on the cruise. I just remember being in the Waikiki bar with my mother and I was whining and crying and she gave me a huge slap across my face… and said, 'You will not ruin my holiday, get over yourself. [Expletive] happens. I think I was the most miserable on the biggest event that I had prepared for my mother. Two marriages, an engagement, two long-term relationships later and I will not be getting married again. I’ve made the decision."
Shirley and Danny met back in 2019 when they starred in the same Christmas pantomime. Speaking about how their romance came about, she said: "We met on panto as friends. It didn’t really take off until March… for him. I fell in love way before... I think for me it was first sight. He was going through a difficult time in his relationship. We did become friends and then probably in about February I said, 'I love you Danny' and he said, 'I know'. It took a while."
