'He would always have wanted me to do better': Debbie McGee reveals late husband Paul Daniels would have given 'notes' on her Strictly dances... as she vies for the Glitterball trophy



But despite her success, brave recent widow Debbie McGee has revealed her husband Paul Daniels would still have given her 'notes' about her Strictly Come Dancing performances, if he was still alive.

Speaking to the Mirror, the 49-year-old admitted her late husband would 'always have wanted her to do better' - and that she channels his famous confidence on the dance floor.

While Debbie has dazzled on the series and is the GBP fave since week one and landed a place in the grand final, the star admits Paul would still have found things to improve in her dancing, if he was alive to watch.

When I was with Paul he gave me confidence so when I lost him I felt a bit lost because I didn’t have that person that’s saying, ‘Yeah, you can do this’.”

Debbie is now preparing to fight for the Glitterball trophy on Saturday night, against sullen Alexandra Burke 36, happy Joe McFadden and beauty Gemma Atkinson.

Last weekend, the beauty and her partner Giovanni Pernice wowed viewers with a Foxtrot to Isn’t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder, and a Jive to I’m So Excited by the Pointer Sisters.

Her triumphant run on the show saw her awarded with first perfect 40 of the series - including a 10 from notoriously difficult to please judge Craig Revel Horwood who wants her to win.





Debbie each week fighting the sorrow of her loss, what a super trouper

Debbie & Alexandra are the best dancers and I like them both.
But certain people are faking their sudden love for her for attention. The melodramatic fan crush from a certain person is laughable .

Thats what we need the Debbie Army to mobilize and win the Glitterball


Its what the country needs to pick it up after a difficult 2017

[GoldHeart]

I vote for Alexandra!!! And I'll be voting a billion times this Saturday . I'm not falling for silly games .

[LeatherTrumpet]

We all must stay strong for Debbie and give her our full support this weekend as she is a deserving winner and what a Christmas miracle it would be

[GoldHeart]

This is as genuine as a tooth fairy

[smudgie]

Debbie is a very old looking 59, her face looks a lot older than her body.

I would love Joe to win, he has gone from total novice to amazing, Debbie and Alexandra are very good, but they were already dancers.

Joe has done musical theatre with dancing . The double standards is hilarious . Just because Alexandra & Debbie picked up the routines quicker it doesn't mean they're experts , and if you take a look at every SCD series ,more celebrities than you think have done dancing in their careers but none of them are trained ballroom or Latin dancers .

As Joe has said himself, the only dancing he did in musicals was comical.
Debbie was not only a fully trained ballet dancer but a dancer when she met Paul Daniels, Alexandra has danced all her life.
I do know the difference between ballroom dancing, ballet and any other dancing, but I also know you have to be very disciplined in ballet, as in ballroom.
I prefer it when a dancer has improved each week wins rather than a professional from the start wins.

Alexandra hasn't done professional ballroom or Latin , Joe has still done dancing which ever way you look at it and for all we know he probably went to stage school. Most actors do dance in their younger years .

Debbie yes has done ballet but this is still a new ball game for her and once again not a trained ballroom or Latin dancer .

Most of the celebs in Strictly have some fitness advantage or some dance ability but they're all still learning completely new dances for the first time .

About half the contestants this year looked like dance virgins like they've never played wii dance , let alone done a dance lesson . But the other half either have fitness advantage or some natural rythm and dance ability.


If you want a competition with compete amateurs with 2 left feet and no co-ordination then strictly would just be full of news readers and politicians .

Jill Halfpenny was near enough a professional and won SCD people like to scrutinise certain celebs when others get let off the hook hmm interesting the inconsistency .

And Abbey Clancy was rumoured to be a ballet dancer and still won and was praised by everyone hmm must be nice to pick and choose who's a professional and sweep other stuff under the carpet .

So both above mentioned winners appeared to have an advantage then.

The judges have said that ballet training is a disadvantage in a lot of the dances.

Debbie McGee wears wedding ring at Strictly event

Brave is not the word for her

Spoiler:

Debbie McGee showed off her wedding ring as she and the other Strictly Come Dancing finalists arrived for an event ahead of the show’s grand finale.

The broadcaster, 59, has previously explained that she does not wear her wedding ring – from her marriage to late magician Paul Daniels – while taking part in the show because it could be dangerous to herself and dance partner Giovanni Pernice.

She told ITV’s This Morning: “If Giovanni grabs my hand and gets me, and I haven’t got big stones, but I could scratch him or pull a finger off.”

McGee was joined by Pernice at the press conference, as well as fellow finalists , Gemma Atkinson and Joe McFadden.

I agree with Smudgie that pro dancers like Burke should be marked down 5 points each time as that is what they do 24/7

[GoldHeart]

More contradictions when Debbie has just been mentioned as a Ballet dancer .

None of the contestants are professional BALLROOM or LATIN dancers . If an ex professional came back to compete as a celebrity then it would be unfair but that's not the case .

ugh because Jill was popular and why i don't know



Ballet really helps you for ballroom and latin dances, it certainly didn't do helen george any favors, so why does debbeh get away with this

[LeatherTrumpet]

Great hear judge Shirley, David Walliams, Cat Deeley and Sarah Cox all sing the praises of Debbie this morning to 9 million R2 listeners

They went on and on about her journey and improvement - should get her a few thousand more votes
