STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas, 60, told fans to “watch this space” as she teased engagement plans with her boyfriend Danny, 47.
The head judge has been in a relationship with Danny for two years and is hoping he’ll get down on one knee soon.
Shirley – who has been married two times before – said: “We don’t have a problem that people are speculating about when we’ll get engaged, but watch this space.”
Danny told Hello! magazine: “Who knows where the path is going to go next? But I’m not going anywhere.”
He added “I think marriage is an amazing institution and I really like the idea of committing to someone for the rest of your life, through sickness and in health.”
In January 2019, The Sun exclusively revealed that Shirley was dating actor Daniel.
The couple met during rehearsals for Jack And The Beanstalk, which they starred in together over Christmas.
Shirley discussed how they first met on Loose Women: “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,” she said.
“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.”

The Strictly judge dropped a massive hint last year that she wants to get married – by begging him to propose on Loose Women.
Shirley was previously married to Sammy Stopford from 1980 to 1984, then to Corky Ballas – who she divorced in 2007.
