Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has reportedly split from her fiancé Danny Taylor after six years together.
The couple, who originally got engaged in 2021, have ended their relationship, six months after Shirley, 64, revealed she and Danny, 51, called off their engagement.
A source told The Sun that distance played a part in the end of Shirley’s relationship, describing it as ‘a very sad situation’.
‘She gave her all to that relationship and in the end came to the realisation that it wasn’t going anywhere. She made a lot of effort to see Danny and support his theatre and panto work, travelling up and down the country,’ the source said.
‘Distance also played its part – Shirley lives in London with her mother and Danny remains based in Liverpool; that commute is a killer.

‘But Shirley is a strong, resilient character and is looking better than ever. She will 100% bounce back – 2025 promises to be an absolute corker for her.’
It’s though that the couple have remained friends, and they still follow each other on social media.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Shirley Ballas for comment.
