Debbie has also been discussing the show, saying how excited she is to be a part of it on It Takes Two last week. 

She told host Rylan Clark-Neal: “I can’t tell you how excited I am.

“I just feel so luck. You get to do the series and the tour and you get invited back and then some of my mates are back with me.
