Shirley Ballas has opened up about spending Christmas away from her partner, Danny Taylor. The news comes as the Strictly Come Dancing judge revealed the pair have prior family commitments.<\/p>\n

In a new Yuletide-themed interview, Shirley, 63, has said that she and Danny, 50, are getting ready to celebrate December 25th a little earlier than usual. The premature party comes as the actor is set to spend the day with his son.<\/p>\n

Chatting to OK! Magazine, the professional dancer revealed that this year she will be setting up shop at The Savoy with her mother, Audrey, and her niece, Mary. Explaining her plans, Shirley said: \u201cI\u2019m excited to be taking my family to The Savoy. They were full but [restaurant director] Thierry Tomasin was kind enough to fit us in on a table in the corner!<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I will be celebrating it with my mother, Mary and her fianc\u00e9, Augustine.\u201d Elsewhere, Danny said: \u201cShirley and I will do a few things before Christmas.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally I\u2019m doing pantomime at this time of year but I\u2019ve turned down panto so I can get to see Shirley and get to see my little boy.\u201d He added that seeing the pair is the \u201cmost important\u201d thing when it comes to the festive season.<\/p>\n

Pledging her support to her partner, Shirley added: \u201cWe have separate plans because Danny has a lovely little boy up north. He\u2019s a great dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the BBC judge has set the record straight on her and Danny\u2019s relationship, and claims that marriage is now \u201coff the table\u201d.<\/p>\n

The pair first started dating in 2019, and the star was spotted sporting a diamond ring on her left hand earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the publication about calling off their engagement, the author said: \u201cThere was a point there where I wanted to get married.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pushing it, pushing it, pushing it, pushing it – and then there was one point where it was clear and obvious it was just me. So for me, marriage is off the table for now.\u201d<\/p>\n
