The BBC dance show's head judge has been dating her other half since 2019. Shirley Ballas opens up about her brother's suicide in BBC's Unreakable Danny gives Shirley a huge hug during the emotional interview Danny joins the star in new BBC show Unbreakable, and in a clip from an upcoming episode she tells the cameras about her heartbreaking family tragedy. Shirley says: "The police knocked on the door, and they said 'Mrs Rich.' I stepped aside and my mother moved forward. And they said, 'I'm so sorry to tell you your son has died.' "I think we just stood there in utter disbelief because I think anyone who knew my brother it was the furthest person ever that would take their own life. For sure. Shirley's voice cracks and she speaks about wishing she could have saved David, who passed away in 2003. She recalls: "I struggled for many many years, thinking if I had known more about men's mental health. If I had stopped for a moment, if, if, if. You do blame yourself. It plays a part in your heart for the rest of your life." Shirley turns to Danny and adds: "Over the last three and a half years, I think you can be that person that he was to me in my heart." Danny replies: "That's a big thing to say. I'm hugely proud of Shirley. "I think I have come to the party late in Shirley's journey, but I sit there at the back and have this huge sense of pride for what Shirley has been through." EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide. It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers. It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes. And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women. Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless){kind=link}
