Strictly Come Dancing: Viewers pine for Debbie’s legs

She eclipsed her competitors with a stunning Argentine Tango, successfully bouncing back from last weekend’s shock dance-off.

But it was 59-year-old Debbie McGee’s legs that had viewers at home spellbound after Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing.

It had 60-somethings asking for the secret of her fantastic flexibility, but even left younger fans feeling ‘unfit and inadequate’ on their sofas at home.

When she was 19, following a tour with the Iranian National Ballet, Debbie stopped dancing and became an assistant to beloved magician Paul Daniels.

The duo worked together for nine years before tying the knot and were together for almost 30 years before he passed away last year.
