Debbie McGee: Strictly star on ‘toughest time’ since losing husband Paul Daniels

Debbie continued: “When somebody dies, first you feel somebody’s dropped you in the ocean and you’re treading water and you don’t know which direction to take.

“There’s no steering wheel. I’d always been focused, knew what I wanted, where I wanted to go, and suddenly all that went.”

In the remarkably candid interview, she even said that she couldn’t “face” magic anymore.

She said: “Since Paul died I can’t face it. I can’t even bear to think of being on the stage.”
