Strictly judge Shirley Ballas pictured with toyboy lover 'she's keen to marry'

Strictly judge Shirley Ballas takes her partner by the hand, the man she’d marry given half a cha-cha-chance.

Shirley, 58, and new boyfriend Danny Taylor, 44, were leaving the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing launch in London, where she had earlier glammed it up on the red carpet.

The pair met late last year when Shirley was playing the Good Fairy Mother Nature and Danny was evil Fleshcreep in Jack And The Beanstalk in Liverpool.

So would she like to make him husband No3?

Oh, yes she would.

Last month she admitted: “I would marry him tomorrow, if he asked me.”

Shirley first spoke about the relationship in January, when she told TV host Lorraine Kelly that she's met "somebody nice".

She added:"I had the best Christmas ever being in panto and meeting nice people, and my son flew over to see the panto and Strictly and it was the best Christmas I've had in my entire life."

Daniel is a regular in theatres across the country and has also appeared in TV shows including The Bill and Brookside.

He has a son from a previous relationship with actress Sharon Byatt, who appeared in TV comedy Bread.
