She spent hours frantically trying to track Danny Taylor down after he disappeared, multiple reports indicate. According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, Ballas described that it just got to a point where it was so upsetting every time it happened that she decided to call it a day, adding it is better to be on her own than constantly worrying and stressful about somebody else.
She also stated that Taylor has done things that are under the table and unforgivable, though the specific actions remain unknown. Throughout her relationship with Taylor, Ballas was constantly worrying, she said. His disappearances triggered memories of her brother David's suicide in 2003, Ballas noted.
According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, Ballas described that all those memories came flooding back and it triggered all these emotions. Ballas has no interest in finding love again after splitting from Taylor in 2024, she stated. She is not dating and does not want to call anyone a boyfriend, Ballas said.
