He came very close to returning to the UK for Strictly
DANNY Cipriani has moved into a huge multi-million pound mansion in an exclusive Beverly Hills neighbourhood.
The sportsman, 36, was recently pictured in sunny LA - a far cry from blustery Blighty where Danny came very close to returning for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.

Former England rugby international Danny looked in tip-top shape when he went for a shirtless stroll close to home.
His neighbours include A-list Hollywood stars Cameron Diaz, who is married to Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, and Timothée Chalamet.
Kylie Jenner is also a regular visitor in the area; her Lamborghini is often parked at boyfriend Timothée's stunning pad, which boasts a tennis court.
All three celebrity properties have swimming pools, perfect for the summer heat in the hills.

Danny's very comfortable in LA where he loves a relaxing beach visit with his American actress girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord, 37.
The smitten couple have shared a number of cosy social media snaps in recent months on the city's soft sandy coast line.
Danny was recently tipped for a return to the ballroom after triumphing in the Christmas special with pro dancer Jowita Pryzstal.
However, bosses reportedly decided against it in a bid to ensure this year's show was as squeaky clean as possible following the Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima scandals.

The findings of an investigation into bullying behind the scenes is set to be released this week.
Last month former England fly-half Danny, whose past was dogged by cheating rumours, told how he never truly knew who ex-wife Victoria Rose was.
Danny Cipriani's wife files for divorce after the rugby ace walked out on her and hitched up with an American actress
After his ex filed for divorce, saying he took drugs and had messaged other women, Danny accused her of building their four-year relationship on “lies” and “deceit”.
He claimed she told him she joined the Army aged 16, climbing the ranks so rapidly she was headhunted by MI5.
The 36-year-old also said Victoria, 42, claimed she had a multi-million pound inheritance pot thanks to her mum investing in land in California.
He insisted she told him she had worked as a body language expert with Chelsea footballers, but someone he spoke to at the club had never heard of her.

And he claimed she talked about once being in love with a drugs cartel boss, training as a nurse and working in psychology.
Danny, who admits his own past was “far from perfect”, said: “When I look back now, I realise how much she hoodwinked me. But I really wanted to believe her.
“I feel like I don’t know who she is. I don’t think I ever did because I have no idea what is the truth.”
Notorious ladies’ man Danny denied Victoria’s claims he shared anything more than friendships with women at a hotel bash, which led to a bust-up — the “final nail” in their marriage. And he said it was “red flags” about HER behaviour that made him quit their marriage.
Danny also revealed that, before Victoria got pregnant, he had avoided serious dating because he feared he could not stay faithful.

He said: “In the past, I was so worried I would end up cheating on women that I honestly just didn’t want to be in a relationship.
“I didn’t trust myself not to hurt people. I avoided any commitment.
“It was only when I thought I was going to become a dad that I truly changed. I never cheated on Vic. I couldn’t stay there because it was unhealthy for me.

“By the end of our relationship, I could not see her in the same light any more because I don’t believe she was truthful to me from the start.
"I want to move on now, but I wanted to tell my truth in this as well. I hope Victoria gets to a place of happiness too.”
