Shirley Ballas would marry boyfriend ‘tomorrow’

Shirley Ballas would marry her boyfriend "tomorrow" if he asked her.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge – who has been married twice before – admits she has never experienced a feeling before like she has with Danny Taylor, who she met while starring alongside him in pantomime ‘Jack And The Beanstalk’ last year.
She said: "I would marry him tomorrow, if he asked me. If this is what love is I have never experienced it before."
Shirley admits the pair were friends at first before hooking up a few months later.
She added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "I met him in late November and he was going through a difficult time with his ex.
"I met him at a difficult time in his life and we became friends first. We did not get together until February as a couple."
The ballroom dancer was previously married to fellow performer Sammy Stopford from 1980 to 1984, and she later wed Corky Ballas from 1985 to 2007.
Shirley previously claimed her second husband Corky cheated on her – but insisted she "deserved it".
She said: "During my time with Corky there was infidelity there and I just put it down to, ‘I probably deserved it,’ and it was karma.
"I think when you get married so young, every seven years it changes and your outlook changes and probably I should’ve waited to get married until I was much older."
When asked to clarify if she believed Corky’s alleged infidelity was because she had cheated before, Shirley – who shares son Mark Ballas, 33, with him – replied: "It’s not about him, because we have a beautiful son together and I forgive him for anything that’s written about me.
"But I just thought perhaps it was karma."
