Shirley Ballas has been improving her cooking skills throughout lockdown, and the dinner she made for her boyfriend Danny Taylor this week looked mighty delicious!
In her second HELLO! video diary, the Strictly Come Dancing judge invites fans inside her house and gives them a glimpse of life at home with her actor beau. Shirley sets to work preparing a dish of chicken, baked new potatoes and roasted vegetables including honey glazed carrots, asparagus and tomatoes. But it's the secret ingredient that wins Danny's heart – Bovril gravy sauce.

It sounds like the meal was a hit, as Danny tries it and exclaims: "Ooh la la! That's great. My kind of food. It's good homely British food." "Homely British food? I'd say that's a success!" Shirley smiles.
