Shirley Ballas has revealed she made the 'first move' in her relationship with boyfriend Danny Taylor, after meeting the actor back in 2019. The Strictly Come Dancing head judge, 63, first crossed paths with Danny, 50, when they were both starring in a Christmas pantomime production of Jack and the Beanstalk and it wasn't long until romance blossomed between the pair. And it was all thanks to a small but kind gesture by Shirley - who charmed her co-star with food, explaining: "I’d bring him lemon drinks with honey and I’d make him little sandwiches." Shirley, who was previously married to ballroom dancer Corky Ballas, was instantly attracted to her beau, branding him "drop-down-dead gorgeous" in a new interview.
“He’s drop-down-dead gorgeous — 6ft 2in with blue eyes and black hair, you know. And he won rear end — oh, what was it, West End rear end of the year! — twice. He’s got the cutest bottom in the industry," she told The Times.
Danny was going through a break-up when they met on the set of Jack and the Beanstalk and she ended up inviting him round for Christmas after realising he had no where to go. “I just was attracted to him, and he was going through a break-up.. I invited him for Christmas because he didn’t have anywhere to go.
And he didn’t have anywhere to live because she’d thrown him out. So it started like that and developed from there.” And giving some insight into their relationship, Shirley said that unlike the men she had been with previously, Danny did not expect her to always look camera ready. Admitting that in the past she's had to wear make-up to bed to please her lovers, she said that wasn't the case with Danny, who wiped it gently off.
