'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.

no, she left me ice cold :fan:, and i did think Paul Daniels was in fact lovely on strictly with Ola, he wasn't the best dancer but he did try his best, and yes i am still sad he's no longer among us :(

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

:amazed:

[GoldHeart]

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 :whistle: .

[Crimson Dynamo]

Debbie & Alexandra are the best dancers and I like them both.

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

:laugh:

only thing i'm really looking forward to is the group dance, as for the rest anyone is allowed to win for me personally except Debbeh

[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.:shrug:

[GoldHeart]

:laugh:

Why do people ignore Joe's previous dance experience :idc: , I've heard he's done more musical theatre than we think and he's danced in them but that gets sweeped under the carpet :sleep:. .

Joe has done musical theatre with dancing :hehe: . The double standards is hilarious :whistle: . 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 .

Debbie McGee wears wedding ring at Strictly event

Brave is not the word for her

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.

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.:shrug:

Alexandra hasn't done professional ballroom or Latin :facepalm:, 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 :nono:.

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 :joker:.

[Crimson Dynamo]

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 :sleep: . If an ex professional came back to compete as a celebrity then it would be unfair but that's not the case .

Jill Halfpenny was near enough a professional and won SCD :laugh3: people like to scrutinise certain celebs when others get let off the hook hmm interesting the inconsistency :whistle: .

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 :bored: .

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 :oh:

[GoldHeart]

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

And yet nobody seemed to care at the time :laugh2: , there's alot of celebs who have had some form of dance experience but every year only the odd 1 or 2 get criticised for it :facepalm:, why can't people be consistent if it's an issue then half the strictly contestants have an advantage and people should moan & complain about them all :shrug:.

[Nicky91]

did Abbey seriously have ballet experience :eek:


i didn't know, only thing what did bother me from Clancy was ''mehnerves'' every single week and every episode of it takes two

:joker: :facepalm:

[GoldHeart]

why are you moaning now towards me, i'm on your side hun x

I wasn't, but people moan about Debbie & Alexandra and it's tiresome . They're not the only celebrities in this competition with dance and fitness ability :rolleyes: .

About 6 celebrities this year looked like they had ZERO experience , the others have fitness stamina and some dance & rythm .

[GoldHeart]

did Abbey seriously have ballet experience :eek:


i didn't know, only thing what did bother me from Clancy was ''mehnerves'' every single week and every episode of it takes two

:joker: :facepalm:

It was rumoured she had Ballet experience :shrug: , I think she definitely had some form of previous experience :joker: you could tell.

[Nicky91]

yeah okay :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

yeah okay :laugh:

And I think other shows like Dancing On Ice are alot more uneven and unfair , when you get celebrities who have played ice hockey in their life and people who's regularly been to ice rinks :facepalm:.

Then there's other celebrities who have NEVER set foot on the ice in their lives !! so hardly a level playing team :nono: , but people don't seem to care that there's people who have ice skated competing with other people who are scared of the ice as they have zero experience :rolleyes: .

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

I doubt we'll ever see a near - sixty year old have a chance at the trophy again. She's amazing and deserves to win.

Debbie is rubbish, she should've been a week 2 goner, wooden dull fake person :yuk:


i cannot understand she even has got fans :joker:

Stop spouting ****e.

[chuff me dizzy]

Debbie using her dead hubby and Alex using her dead Mam ,what worthy winners they would be ..... not

[Nicky91]

and tbh it's more the word people's fave what does bother me, i'm part of the general strictly public, and calling debbeh a people's fave makes me think i'm a loser for not supporting the ''popular one''

:sad:


i just feel proud for having been a fan to Mollie King, such a genuinely sweet classy lady, yet still coming over as a nice fun young girl as well :)

[Tom4784]

She's got the other side supporting her :clap1:

Queen of the dead! :clap1:

Here we go again :bored: , they're in the public eye and get scrutinised enough as it is and now they're being ridiculed for grieving and mentioning their loved ones!?? Oh no what a Crime ! . It be different if someone you liked did it though?? Makes sense NOT :sleep: .

Wow you've sunk far lower than I thought you would, what ashame at this time of year as well :bored: .

You can't say that though!!! :facepalm: , everytime a celebrity mentions their deceased loved ones why is it Soo bad ?? :nono:.

You assume they're doing it for sympathy that's not a nice thing to say and it's very cynical of you . Obviously floods of memories come back to them and they miss the person they're grieving for .

Utter BS ,to grieve them is natural but to use them is a different thing

im amazed she can dance knowing her husband is still warm in the grave

the stoicism sure plays well with the GBP

its Churchillesque

well at least Paul Daniels had talent, a shame he's no longer among us, he was a really great magician


so yes i like Paul, but should that translate into votes for Debbie, no since strictly is about the dancing, so please look at debbie's dance techniques, and vote for her based on that


i'm not nasty and i'm most certainly not a horrible person thank you very much :fist:

I'll be happy when SCD ends tonight!!! And I don't care who wins :nono: , then maybe these tiresome antics will end . Lovely time of year to be arguing :bored: .

[Crimson Dynamo]

Good point and its what Debbie would want as she is not argumentative.

Her victory will be a win for all that is good in Britain at this time of year

:clap1:

[GoldHeart]

Utter BS ,to grieve them is natural but to use them is a different thing

But chuff let's be honest you seem to drag anyone who mention's their dead loved ones , you gave Jennie Mcalpine a hard time when she expressed her grief for her dad :facepalm:, and for all she knew IAC producers could of edited that out.

She wasn't performing or trying to get sympathy from viewers yet you said she was and she genuinely looked upset nothing fake about it :nono:. You can't say they're using their dead loved ones for votes , you can't always think the worst .

That means people in the public eye aren't allowed to show emotions ?? , Should they bottle it all up ?? . And if they never cried then you'd see them as robotic or hard faced :shocked: so they can't win no matter what they do .
