Shirley Ballas, 61, did fat drain to save her marriage – before 49-yr-old lover…though ex-hubby will find her more desirable
In the interview, she also chatted about her blossoming romance with toyboy Danny Taylor, 49, who she said ‘changed her life’
The couple met at pantomime rehearsals for Jack And The Beanstalk in 2018 and Shirley admitted she is hoping he will propose soon
Shirley Ballas has revealed the lengths she went to in the past to boost her self-confidence including having fat drained from her arms and legs and a boob job.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 61, spoke candidly with Prima about trying ‘all sorts’ such as having a breast enlargement to try and save her marriage, before realising that she was ‘doing it for the wrong reasons’.
The candid interview also revealed her blossoming romance with younger lover Danny Taylor, 49, ‘changed her life’.
‘I had my teeth straightened and fat drained out of my arms and legs; I thought doing my boobs would make my husband at the time like me more, but I was doing it for the wrong reasons.’
She added: ‘You have to love yourself first. That’s my message to every woman’.
In 2019 Shirley warned women to avoid boob jobs after she underwent a gruelling procedure to have her DD breast implants removed following a cancer scare.
The star endured a four-and-a-half-hour procedure to go back to her natural A cup.
In an interview afterwards Shirley urged women to do their research before having the procedure and admitted that she thought her ex-husband, Corky, who she split from in 2007, would find her ‘more desirable’ if she had the DD implants.
Shirley told The Sun: ‘Do your research about the implants. I did not do mine. I thought if I put them in I’d look better and my husband would think of me as more desirable.
‘I made this choice many years ago not understanding what I was really doing, except telling myself I didn’t look good enough.’
Shirley went on to explain that she spent a gruelling four-and-a-half-hours under the knife having her implants removed, and said she was happy that she’s reverted back to her natural size.
