Strictly Come Dancing's Debbie McGee reveals why she is auctioning off magical items owned by late husband Paul Daniels
October 16, 2022 - 17:02 BST Rosalind Powell In an exclusive shoot and interview with HELLO! magazine, Debbie McGee has revealed she is auctioning off magical items once owned by her late husband Paul Daniels. More than 600 lots will be available for his fans to buy and enjoy next month.“I don’t need to hang on to all of this – my memories are what I have,” explains Debbie, speaking from her house on the Thames in Berkshire which she once shared with the famous illusionist.
“When you look at it, it’s impossible for me to be in there, but Paul would wheel it round the stage to prove there wasn’t a trap door. Then he would quickly pull out the swords and open the door. And there I would be, still shackled inside! Even magicians couldn’t work out how his tricks were done.”
However, she says that taking part in Strictly Come Dancing with dance partner Giovanni Pernice in 2017 gave her a new lease of life. “I had the best partner in Giovanni, and I was back in showbusiness again. “People knew who I was before, but I was still the magician’s assistant. Since Strictly I’ve been Debbie McGee in my own right.”
