Debbie McGee’s leg keeps giving away

OHMYGOSSIP — Debbie McGee doesn’t know if she’ll be fit enough to do ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ tomorrow (25.11.17) because her foot keeps “giving way” and her leg keeps “buckling.”
The 59-year-old television entertainer found herself in the dreaded dance off last week after she slipped down the leader board but, although she was saved by the judges when they opted to send home Paralympian Jonnie Peacock, she doesn’t know how much longer she can stay in the competition because she’s suffering with multiple injuries.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, she said: “The samba really pulled the muscles over my hip bones. It actually felt like a tendon had gone over my hip bone, and when I put my weight on my left foot it kept giving way and my leg was buckling.
“I had more physio after Saturday. They gave me ice packs. “I had to go back to the hotel and soak in a bath and put an ice pack on.”
Despite her sore joints, the magician’s assistant has been slaving away in rehearsals to ensure her Argentine Tango is ready to perform tomorrow – but the risky routine, choreographed by her professional partner Giovanni Pernice, is quite “dangerous.”
She teased: “I have got a few bruises.
“We have kicked each other. It was nearly quite dangerous.”
Debbie and Giovanni’s on-screen chemistry has been the hot topic of conversation since week one of the competition in September but she’s adamant they’re just friends.
Debbie – who was married to Paul Daniels until his death last year – said recently: “We really have a close relationship. It’s a special friendship … it’s not a love affair, it’s an incredible, deep, friendship.”
